On October 1, 1992, the undersigned was appointed Inquiry Officer and received a delegation of the power and duty to conduct inquiries and make orders under the provincial Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
BACKGROUND:
The Archives of Ontario (the Archives), received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act), transferred to it from the Ministry of the Solicitor General, for access to all information relating to a fire that occurred at the requester's residence, in August 1978.
The Archives identified 29 pages as being responsive to the request. Eleven pages were released to the appellant in their entirety. Access to the remaining 18 pages was denied, in whole or in part, pursuant to sections 14(1)(d), (e) and (g), 14(2)(a), 15(b) and 21(1)(f) of the Act.
The requester appealed the Archives' decision to deny access.
Further mediation of the appeal was not successful, and the matter proceeded to inquiry. Notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the Archives was sent to the Archives, the appellant, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the R.C.M.P.). Written representations were received from the appellant and the Archives.
