P-1077
The Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) relating to a job competition in which the requester was an unsuccessful candidate.
The Ministry granted access to the requester's own resume, application, interview answers and scoring sheets and partial access to other administrative records associated with the competition. Access was denied to all records and parts of records which related to the other seven individuals who were interviewed. The information which was not disclosed was withheld pursuant to the following exemption in the Act:
invasion of privacy - section 49(b)
The requester appealed the Ministry's decision. During mediation, the appellant indicated that he is only seeking access to the interview answers of the other individuals who were interviewed in the competition.
A Notice of Inquiry was sent to the appellant, the Ministry and the successful candidate. Representations were received from all parties.
