Report: A-2023-020
Report Date: May 4, 2023
Public Body: Memorial University
Summary: The Complainant made an access to information request to Memorial University for records related to discounts, reduced fees, credits, and registration at Memorial’s Childcare Centre. Memorial did not provide any records to the Complainant, stating the Childcare Centre was not a public body as defined by ATIPPA, 2015 and that the records were not in Memorial’s custody or control. The Complainant disagreed and filed a complaint with this Office. After review of submissions from both parties, the Commissioner concluded ATIPPA, 2015 does not apply to the Childcare Centre and that the requested records were not within Memorial’s custody or control.
