P-446

The Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for access to all information pertaining to a workplace harassment complaint. The Ministry denied access to the six records identified as responsive to the request pursuant to sections 21(1), 49(b), and 14(1)(k) of the Act. The requester appealed the Ministry's decision.

During mediation, the appellant agreed that only one record, an occurrence report which directly concerned the appellant, is at issue in this appeal.

Mediation of the appeal was not successful, and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the Ministry's decision was sent to the appellant, the Ministry, and another individual named in the record (the affected person). Written representations were received from the Ministry and the affected person. In the Ministry's representations it withdrew its application of section 14(1)(k), and indicated that it was exercising its discretion not to disclose the personal information of the appellant pursuant to section 49(b) of the Act.
