The Ministry of the Solicitor General (the institution) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to the following information which relates to a job competition for the position of Policy Development Officer:
In respect to competition for employment File No. SG-321,
1.0 All curricula vitae, resumes, or applications received by the Ministry of the Solicitor General for this competition.
2.0 Those curricula vitae, resumes, or applications of the applicants invited for an interview.
3.0 The curricula vitae, resumes, or applications of the two successful applicants.
4.0 All material relating to the criteria used in selecting applicants for an interview in this competition.
...
The purpose of this request is to determine whether the hiring practices of the Ministry of the Solicitor General are in compliance with the employment equity program, the Ontario Human Rights Code, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The record is 1220 pages in length. It consists of the advertisement and the job description for the position of Policy Development Officer; the offers and conditions of employment of the two successful candidates; a 15-page "Qualifying Guide", which lists the selection criteria for the 235 applicants; and the applications and resumes of all applicants, including the candidates selected for an interview, the two successful candidates, and the requester.
The institution initially responded to the request by providing the requester with a fee estimate in the amount of $545.00. The requester appealed this decision. However, the institution subsequently issued a revised decision in which all fees were waived, and the requester was provided with access to 34 pages of the record in whole, and partial access to an additional 17 pages.
Access to the remaining portions of the record was denied pursuant to sections 13(1), 21(2)(f) and (h), and 21(3)(a), (d), (g) and (h) of the Act.
The requester appealed the institution's new decision.
