The Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services (the Ministry) received two requests under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to a number of documents related to various incidents at the Moosonee detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (the OPP detachment) involving the requester.
The Ministry identified a one-page covering letter, an Impact Assessment Report and five pages from a police officer's notebook as being responsive to the first request and three briefing notes, a letter and 18 Impact Statements as being responsive to the second. Partial access was granted to this documentation by the Ministry. The requester appealed the decisions of the Ministry.
Appeal Number P-9300180 was opened by the Commissioner's office to consider the first group of records and Appeal Number P-9300254 to address the second.
During mediation of these appeals, the Ministry disclosed additional information to the appellant on the basis of a consent received from an individual whose interests might be affected by the disclosure of the information contained in the records. The Ministry also withdrew its reliance on some of the exemptions previously claimed to deny access to those records which remain at issue.
Further mediation was not successful and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decisions of the Ministry was sent to the Ministry, the appellant and 16 persons whose interests might be affected by the disclosure of the information contained in the records (the affected persons).
Representations were received from the Ministry, the appellant and seven affected persons in Appeal Number P-9300180. Three of the affected persons consented to the release of their personal information with specific reference to the Impact Assessment Report. The other four objected to the release of their personal information.
