MFIPPA - 52(3)
An individual made a request to the Waterloo Regional Police Services Board under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to policies and records related to an investigation about a complaint against a member of the police. The police granted access to the policies but withheld the complaint records because they claim the complaint records are excluded from the Act under the employment or labour relations exclusion (section 52(3)3). The individual believes more records should exist.
In this order, the adjudicator upholds the police’s claim that the labour relations exclusion applies. She also finds that the police conducted a reasonable search for responsive records and dismisses the appeal.
