| Report: | A-2025-042 |
| Report Date: | October 6, 2025 |
| Public Body: | Department of Jobs, Immigration and Growth |
| Summary: | The Complainant made two access requests to the Department of Jobs, Immigration and Growth for records related to the JobsNL Wage Subsidy program. The Department withheld all the records responsive to the first request citing section 40 (disclosure harmful to personal privacy). In response to the second request, the Department provided responsive records but withheld some information under sections 29 (policy advice and recommendations), 35 (disclosure harmful to the financial or economic interests of a public body), and 40. The Complainant was not satisfied with the responses to either request and made complaints to this Office. The Commissioner found the redactions in both requests were appropriate but recommended that the Department do a further search for a particular record. |
