This appeal was received pursuant to subsection 50(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987, (the "Act") which gives a person who has made a request for access to a record under subsection 24(1) a right to appeal any decision of a head under the Act to me.

The facts of this case and the procedures employed in making this Order are as follows:

1. On February 4, 1988, the Ministry of the Attorney General (the "institution") received a request from the appellant for access to:
   
   

   "1.	Rating of the successful candidate for the job competition #AG-1076B.
   2.	Results of Data Entry for myself and the other successful candidate held in reference to job competition #AG-1076B.
   3.	Any other relevant information which was considered in determination of the successful candidate in job competition #AG-1076B.
   4.	Rating (for myself and successful candidate) by A. Lomangino who was present at the interview for job competition #AG-1076B. If not rating, a copy of her comments should be provided".

   
   
2. By letter dated March 3, 1988, the Freedom of Information Co-ordinator for the institution wrote to the appellant advising that "access has been granted to the following records: results of your Data Entry test, relevant information considered in determining the successful candidate such as suggested questions and answers and selection criteria; your own evaluations, and rating in the competition". The appellant was further advised by the institution that the request for the rating of the successful candidate for the job competition and the results of the Data Entry test for the successful candidate were denied under subsection 21(3)(g) of the Act. The letter stated that the records consist of personal recommendations or evaluations, the disclosure of which would constitute an unjustified invasion of personal privacy.
   
   The appellant was also advised that access to the ratings/comments by A. Lomangino for the job competition could not be provided because the record did not exist.
