| Report Date: | May 30, 2024 |
| Public Body: | Memorial University |
| Summary: | The Complainant made a request under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015 to Memorial University for copies of protected disclosure annual reports. The University provided a final response to the request and disclosed responsive records, but withheld some information pursuant to section 29 (Policy advice or recommendations). Dissatisfied with the decision to withhold information, the Complainant filed a complaint with this Office. During the informal resolution process, the University released most of the previously redacted information; however, several passages remained withheld under section 29. After reviewing these passages, the Commissioner agreed that exceptions to access had been applied correctly and recommended that the University continue to withhold the remainder of the information. |
