An individual asked the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) for a copy of a certain report that a third party had prepared for FSRA. The request was made under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. FSRA decided that it could withhold the report from disclosure under the exemption protecting advice and recommendations, found at section 13(1) of the Act. The requester appealed and raised the public interest override at section 23 of the Act. The adjudicator upholds FSRA’s decision and dismisses the appeal.
