Summary
|
|
This is an appeal of a decision made by the Ministry of Government Services (the "institution"). The events leading up to this appeal began when the requester wrote to the Ministry of Housing to request access to all documents relating to an investigation under the Ombudsman Act R.S.O. 1980, c. 325. The subject of the investigation was the "North Pickering Project", a 1972 project of the Ontario Government involving the planned acquisition of some 25,000 acres of property for the development of integrated service, transportation, recreation and community facilities near an airport which the federal government was proposing to build in the area.
Until 1974, the land acquisition for the project was undertaken by negotiation rather than by expropriation with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing appointing agents to act on its behalf in appraising and negotiating property purchases. The Ombudsman received complaints relating to the activities of some of these agents and the ministry generally. Part of the Ombudsman's investigation into the complaints was carried out by the holding of private hearings and the submission of a report on those hearings to the Ombudsman by the Ombudsman's appointed hearing officer, Mr. Justice Hoilett.
The institution obtained the records which were the subject matter of the request when it took over the real property matters formerly handled by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Accordingly, the Ministry of Housing's Freedom of Information and Privacy Co-ordinator transferred the request to the institution pursuant to section 25 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987 (the "Act").
The institution's Freedom of Information and Privacy Co-ordinator (the "Co-ordinator") wrote to the requester to advise him that, pursuant to section 57 of the Act, payment of a fee in the amount of $1304.75 was required prior to proceeding with his request. The requester accepted the fee and forwarded a cheque for the full amount to the institution.
