PO-4451

The appellant sought access to records from the OPP pertaining to an investigation it conducted regarding Correctional Service Canada’s use of a cell-site simulator at the penitentiary at which the appellant worked. The appellant also challenged the reasonableness of the search for a videotape of his interview with a named OPP detective. The ministry released some information to the appellant but relied on a number of exemptions under the Act to deny access to the portions it withheld. The ministry also took the position that it conducted a reasonable search for the videotape, but none could be found. In this order the adjudicator partly upholds the ministry’s decision. He finds that the ministry conducted a reasonable search for the videotape, but that certain claimed exemptions do not apply to some withheld information. He orders that this information be disclosed to the appellant.
