| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to the Department of Justice and Public Safety for all correspondence between themselves and various public officials from January 2020 to the date of the request. The Department responded by providing several hundred pages of records with redactions applied throughout pursuant to various sections of ATIPPA, 2015.

After reviewing the emails, the Commissioner concluded the redactions were appropriate and recommended the Department maintain its position on the matter. |
