FIPPA - 12(1)
An individual asked for records from the ministry under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for any final products, including reports, delivered to the ministry by a consulting company in order to fulfill its consulting contracts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ministry decided to withhold the records in their entirety, claiming the mandatory Cabinet record exemption in section 12(1). In this order, the adjudicator finds that most of the records are exempt from disclosure, but that others are not, in part. The adjudicator orders the ministry to disclose the portions of the records that are not exempt to the individual who requested them.
