| Report: | A-2023-042 |
| Report Date: | October 25, 2023 |
| Public Body: | ArtsNL |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to ArtsNL for the names of the peer assessors linked to each specific grant category for the Spring and Fall 2022 granting sessions. ArtsNL responded by denying the Complainant access to the information, citing sections 32(a) and 40(1) of ATIPPA, 2015 as justification. In response, the Complainant filed a complaint with this Office. After reviewing submissions from both parties, the Commissioner disagreed that the exceptions to access applied to the requested information and recommended ArtsNL disclose the information to the Complainant. |
