Summary
Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation; provision 23(1)(a). An individual requested access to records from Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation about the St. Jean Baptiste Bridge project. Access was initially granted in part. The ombudsman found that while some information in the draft document could reveal advice, opinions, analyses and recommendations to government, other parts of the document could have been released. The fact that it was in draft form did not necessarily preclude it from being disclosed. The department exercised its discretion to withhold the document.
