Summary
|
|
The appellant submitted a request to the Ministry of the Environment (the Ministry) under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to all records contained in a file entitled "Occurrence 9860000188, Permit to take water, Hudson Township". This record documents a complaint made to the Ministry that a company represented by the appellant was pumping water from a lake in contravention of the Ontario Water Resources Act (the OWRA).
The Ministry granted partial access to the record, withholding the name and address of a complainant pursuant to section 21(1) of the Act (invasion of privacy). The appellant appealed this decision, and raised the possible application of the so-called "public interest override" in section 23 of the Act.
During the mediation stage, the mediator contacted the complainant to determine whether this person would consent to disclosure of his or her personal information. The complainant did not consent to disclosure.
