PO-3146-I

Document		PO-3146-I


File #		PA10-87-2


Institution/HIC		Ontario Power Authority


Summary		The appellant represents a not-for-profit environmental protection organization. He requested records from the OPA relating to the proposed project to construct a gas-fired electricity plant in Oakville, Ontario. The OPA granted partial access to the responsive records and withheld a number of them pursuant to sections 17(1) (third party information) and 18(1) (economic interests). The appellant appealed the OPA’s decision and raised the public interest override in section 23. In addition, the appellant believed that additional records should exist. The adjudicator upheld the section 17(1) and 18(1) exemptions for a number of records and ordered the OPA to disclose other records. In addition, the adjudicator deferred her decision on specific records pending third party notification and clarification from the OPA. Finally, the adjudicator found that the OPA’s search for responsive records was reasonable.
