P-468

The Management Board of Cabinet (the Board) received a request for access under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) to:

"information that relates to the possible conversion of management and excluded civil service positions with the bargaining unit represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union".

Specifically, the requester sought:

"copies of any correspondence and minutes of all meetings between the Premier of Ontario, Ministers of the Crown, other Government officials and Mr. Fred Upshaw, President of OPSEU or his designate".

The Board located 111 records responsive to the request and, following mediation, agreed to disclose the majority of them to the requester. Access to the remaining records was denied in whole or in part by the Board on the basis of the exemptions contained in sections 12, 13, 18 and 21 of the Act. The requester appealed the denial of access.

Further mediation was not possible and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the Board was sent to the Board, the appellant and to one individual whose interests might be affected by disclosure of the information (the affected person). Representations were received from the Board only.
