P-380

The Teachers' Pension Plan Board (the Board) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to information respecting the salary and benefits of its Chief Executive Officer (the CEO), Senior Vice-President of Investments (the Senior VP) and Investment Managers. The requester subsequently modified his request to include only the salary ranges for these positions rather than the specific salaries, provided that the ranges were not excessively broad. The Board denied access to the salary ranges and benefits pursuant to sections 21(1) and 18(1)(c) of the Act. The requester appealed the Board's decision.

During mediation, the Board provided the appellant with the salary ranges for the Senior VP and Investment Managers, and indicated that no salary range had been created for the CEO position. The appellant was not satisfied with this response, claiming that the Senior VP's salary range was too broad, that salary range information for the CEO should exist, and that he should be provided with access to details relating to the full range of benefits provided by the Board to the CEO and the Senior VP.

Further mediation was not successful, and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the Board's decision was sent to the appellant, the Board, the CEO and the Senior VP (the affected persons). Written representations were received from all parties.
