| Summary: | The Office of the Premier received several requests under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015 for records relating to a dispute between the Complainant, a municipality, and Crown Lands. The Office of the Premier responded that it had no responsive records. During our investigation, the Office of the Premier advised that it had located records but considered them to be not responsive to the requests. The Commissioner concluded that the Office of the Premier had been mistaken in its characterization of the records and had not conducted a reasonable search. The Commissioner recommended that the Office of the Premier conduct a more thorough search, and provide any additional records to the Complainant. |
