| Report: | A-2023-028 |
| Report Date: | June 29, 2023 |
| Public Body: | Office of the Child and Youth Advocate |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015 to the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate for records relating to the Complainant and their minor children. The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate responded by granting the Complainant’s request in part (by providing the Complainant with email communications between itself and the Complainant), and withholding all other responsive records under section 41 of the Act. The Complainant made a complaint to this Office arguing section 41 should not apply as they did not believe the matter to be an investigation. The Commissioner found the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate’s application of section 41 was appropriate and recommended the public body continue to withhold the records. |
