P-593
The Ministry of Health (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to certain records relating to an Employment Equity complaint initiated by the requester and records relating to the Ministry's decision not to investigate the matter further. The Ministry located two records responsive to the request, and denied access to them pursuant to sections 13(1) and 19 of the Act. The requester appealed the denial of access.
Mediation was not successful and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the Ministry was sent to the appellant and the Ministry. Representations were received from both parties.
The two records at issue are an undated draft letter (Record 1) and an interoffice memorandum dated December 10, 1992 to which is attached the same undated draft letter (Record 2). Record 1, and the attachment to Record 2, is a draft letter which was prepared by the Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Policy (the WDHP) Office of Management Board Secretariat at the request of the WDHP Co-ordinator for the Ministry of Health. Record 2 is an inter-office memorandum from Counsel with the Ministry's Legal Services Branch to the WDHP Co-ordinator for the Ministry.
