The Ministry of Finance (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for all records held by the Ministry pertaining to the requesters' complaint of the handling of a disability claim by a named insurance company. The Ministry identified 252 responsive records, provided access to 241 records in their entirety, and denied access to the remaining 11 records, in whole or in part, pursuant to sections 13(1), 19 and 21(1) of the Act. The requesters appealed the Ministry's decision.
Mediation of the appeal was not successful, and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the Ministry's decision was sent to the appellants and the Ministry. Written representations were received from both parties.
The 11 records which remain at issue are as follows:
Records 1 to 6 are titled "Issue Sheets" and are dated April 22, 1991; May 27, 1991; July 24, 1991; September 17, 1991; April 6, 1992; and July 13, 1992, respectively. The severances on all of these records were made pursuant to section 13(1) of the Act.
Record 7 is a report of an actuary within the Ontario Insurance Commission (which is an agency of the Ministry). The severances on pages 26 and 27 of this record were made pursuant to section 21(1) of the Act.
Record 8 is an internal memorandum dated April 11, 1991. The Ministry has claimed section 19 of the Act for the entire record.
Record 9 is a computer printout of an internal "e-mail" message dated April 16, 1991. The Ministry claimed section 19 of the Act for the entire record.
Record 10 is an internal Ministry memorandum dated April 19, 1991. The Ministry claimed section 19 of the Act for this record.
Record 11 is handwritten notes of the author of Record 10, dated April 22, 1991. The Ministry claimed section 13(1) of the Act for this record.
