fippa
Summary
Provisions considered: 4(e), 19(1)(e), 23(1)(a), 23(1)(b), 26 and 27(1)(a).
The complainant made an access request to the Consumer Protection Division (CPD) of Manitoba Justice for copies of all records regarding Bill 27, the Elections Amendment Act, from the deputy minister’s office. The CPD granted access to some records, refused access in whole or in part to others and determined that some were not subject to FIPPA. Our investigation confirmed that some records were excluded from FIPPA. We also found that some of the exceptions to access applied, while other cited exceptions did not apply. The complaint was partly supported.
