| Report: | A-2023-043 |
| Report Date: | November 3, 2023 |
| Public Body: | Town of Grand Falls-Windsor |
| Summary: | In response to Report A-2023-031, the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor provided the Complainant records as per the recommendations in the Report. Redactions were made to the new records pursuant to sections 37 and 40 of ATIPPA, 2015. The Complainant disagreed with all of the redactions and filed a complaint with this Office. After review of submissions and the responsive records, the Commissioner agreed that section 37 applied as claimed by the Town because there was sufficient evidence of harm if the redacted portions were released. The Commissioner also agreed with the redactions made pursuant to section 40 and recommended the Town maintain its position on most of the withheld records. |
