PO-2092-F

File #  PA-000370-3
Institution/HIC  Ministry of the Solicitor General
Summary  This final order disposes of all remaining issues in Appeal PA-000370-3. It follows from my previous decisions in Interim Order PO-2033-I, issued August 9, 2002, Interim Order PO-2056-I, issued October 24, 2002, and Reconsideration Order PO-2063-R, issued November 6, 2002, in which I reconsidered part of Order PO-2033-I. NATURE OF THE APPEAL: The Ministry of the Solicitor General (now the Ministry of Public Safety and Security, referred to in this order as “the Ministry”) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) from a member of the media, for access to “all video footage recorded by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) at Ipperwash Provincial Park (Ipperwash) from September 5-7, 1995” and “all photos taken by the OPP at Ipperwash Provincial Park from September 5-7, 1995." After claiming a time extension, the Ministry issued a decision letter to the appellant, denying access to all videotapes and photographs it had identified as being responsive to the request. The Ministry relied on the exemptions relating to law enforcement (section 14) and invasion of privacy (section 21). The Ministry also advised the appellant that, pursuant to sections 14(3) and 21(5) of the Act, it would neither confirm nor deny the existence of any further responsive records. The appellant appealed this decision.
