P-427
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 names which the Ministry had severed from the Crown Land Disposition Policies Review when this record was made available to the public. The Ministry denied access to the names severed from the record pursuant to section 21 of the Act. 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 Ministry and the appellant. Written representations were received from the Ministry and the appellant.
The severed information consists of the names and titles or affiliations of individuals consulted during the study, including Ministry employees, members of various client groups of the Ministry, members of general interest groups and employees of various federal departments and provincial ministries. The name of a Ministry employee whose advice and cooperation were acknowledged by the consultants has also been severed from the record.
