| Report Date: | November 30, 2023 |
| Public Body: | Memorial University of Newfoundland |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access request to Memorial University for records relating to a security risk assessment conducted by the University and records about the cost of security hardware for the University’s Core Science Facility. Memorial provided records to the Complainant, though some information was redacted under section 29(1)(a), 31(1)(c), and 37(1)(b) of ATIPPA, 2015. The Complainant sought a review by this Office of this withheld information, while also arguing that Memorial University did not meet its duty to assist pursuant to section 13(1) of the Act. After a review of the redactions, this Office concurred with Memorial University that the information withheld should not be disclosed. This Office further held that Memorial University had met its duty to assist. |
