Institution/HIC		Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth


Summary		The Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth (the Region) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) which reads as follows: I would like to see the records which reveal which Regional Councillors submitted payroll authorization to participate in the one week unpaid leave for Regional Council members. I'd also like to see any documents which include the dates that such authorization was given to the payroll department. I'd like any available documents which reveal which Councillors are taking the leave and when they authorized their pay reduction to begin their participation in the leave. The Region informed the requester that since the request might affect the interests of third parties, namely, Regional Councillors, all Regional Councillors were being given notice of the request and the opportunity to make representations concerning disclosure of the requested records, pursuant to section 21(1)(b) of the Act . In response to the notice, certain councillors indicated that they objected to disclosure of the records. After receiving the councillors' responses, the Region decided to disclose the records. One councillor (the appellant) appealed this decision.
