Summary
Provisions considered: 82(5); Access and Privacy Regulation 64/98: 9(1)(c).
An individual made an access request to the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, which issued a fee estimate to process the request. The individual requested a fee waiver, believing that the record related to a matter of public interest, but the WRHA decided not to waive the fee. Our office found that the WRHA reasonably concluded that the requirements for a fee waiver were not satisfied. The complaint was not supported.
