P-309

The Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations (the "institution") received a request for access to a list of the names, dates of birth and addresses of all babies born in Ontario in 1991. The request was for continuing access on a weekly basis over the next two years. The institution denied access to the responsive records pursuant to section 21 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the "Act"). The requester appealed the institution's decision to this office.

During the course of mediation, the appellant narrowed the time frame of his request to the period of January 1 to January 17, 1991.

Because mediation was not possible, the matter proceeded to inquiry. Notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the head was sent to the appellant and the institution. Enclosed with the Notice of Inquiry was a report prepared by the Appeals Officer, intended to assist the parties in making their representations concerning the subject matter of the appeal. Representations were received from the appellant and the institution.
