P-448
The Ministry of Transportation (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for correction of personal information relating to the requester. The Ministry wrote to the requester seeking clarification of the request, to determine which records and which statements within the records were to be corrected and the nature of the corrections sought by the appellant. In a letter to the Ministry, the appellant identified the record as a two-page excerpt from a Special Investigation Report dated April 1990 prepared by a Senior Enforcement Investigator for the Ministry. The appellant also listed five requested corrections to the excerpt from the Special Investigation Report. References to requested correction numbers in this order relate to these numbered correction requests.
In its decision letter, the Ministry advised the appellant that his personal information in the Special Investigation Report had been corrected. An amended copy of the two-page excerpt was attached to the decision, with an internal memo explaining the Ministry's position on the requested corrections.
The requester appealed the decision. Attempts to resolve this appeal through mediation were not successful and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the Ministry was sent to the appellant and the Ministry. Written representations were received from both parties.
The record at issue consists of the title page and part of pages 14 and 15 of the Special Investigation Report. The Report concerns an investigation into complaints about the mechanical conditions of certain public transit buses. The excerpt from pages 14 and 15 of the report relates to the investigation of a particular incident involving a bus driven by the appellant in the course of his employment.
