The Ministry of Natural Resources (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to all copies of comments received by the Ministry from a named individual with respect to a proposed land exchange.

The record which the Ministry identified as being responsive to the request consists of three letters, totalling six pages in length. The Ministry denied access to the record pursuant to section 21 of the Act. Counsel for the requester 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 appellant, the Ministry and the author of the letters (the affected person). Written representations were received from the appellant, the Ministry and the affected person.
