File #  PA11-152
Institution/HIC  George Brown College of Applied Arts and Technology
Summary  George Brown College received a request for certain records that refer to an identified organization. The college located one responsive record (a letter) and disclosed one paragraph to the appellant, stating that the remaining portion of the letter was not responsive to the request. The college subsequently issued a revised decision, stating that the whole letter was responsive to the request, and denying access to the remaining portions on the basis of the exclusionary provision in section 65(6) (employment-related matters). It also stated that, in the alternative, access was denied based on the exemptions in sections 18(1)(c) (economic and other interests) and 17(1) (third party information). This order determines that a portion of the letter which relates to the identified organization is responsive to the request, but that a separate portion of the letter is not responsive. This order also determines that the claimed exemptions do not apply to the responsive portion of the record, and orders that it be disclosed. In addition, the college’s search for records is found to be reasonable.
