P-562

The Ministry of Housing (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to all information relating to members and employees of the Metro Toronto Housing Authority (the MTHA). The Ministry subsequently clarified the scope of the request with the requester and granted him partial access to the records. Portions of the records were withheld from disclosure pursuant to section 21 of the Act. In the interim, the requester had written to the Ministry "clarifying" his request to include information relating to the members of the "Revision Committee" of the MTHA.

The requester appealed the decision of the Ministry. The requester maintained that the list of employees of the MTHA was not complete, that the Ministry did not respond to that portion of his request for information on the members of the "Revision Committee", and that the Ministry failed to provide him with a list, in French, of the titles of all the positions within the MTHA. He also indicated that he wished to obtain access to the records in their entirety. The Commissioner's office opened Appeal Number P-9200338 to deal with this matter.

The appellant subsequently submitted another request to the Ministry for the same information as was the subject of Appeal Number P-9200338. In addition, he specifically requested access to all available information on the members and employees of the "Revision Committee" of the MTHA. The Ministry provided the appellant with partial access to information concerning the members of the MTHA Board, and denied access to portions of the remaining records claiming the exemption in section 21 of the Act. The Ministry indicated that it had already provided him with partial access to those records which had been included in his previous request.

The appellant appealed, claiming that he was entitled to access in full to the requested records. He again maintained that the Ministry failed to address that part of his request dealing with information on the members of the "Revision Committee". Appeal Number P-9200566 was assigned to this file.
