Summary
Manitoba Labour and Immigration; provisions 17(1), 17(2)(g) and 17(4). An individual sought access to records related to her spouse’s application made under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. Manitoba Labour and Immigration refused access on the basis that disclosure of the records would result in an unreasonable invasion of her spouse’s privacy. The ombudsman determined that they contained personal information that the public body was prohibited from disclosing.
