| Report: | A-2023-023 |
| Report Date: | May 4, 2023 |
| Public Body: | Department of Environment and Climate Change |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to the Department of Environment and Climate Change for records related to the appointment of two Vice-Chairpersons to the Labour Relations Board. The Department provided some records, but withheld most documents as cabinet confidences (section 27). The Complainant disagreed and filed a complaint with this Office, also alleging the Department failed in its duty to assist as required by section 13. After review of submissions from both parties, the Commissioner found the Department met its duty to assist and agreed with the Department’s application of section 27. |
