A-2023-00192 — Indigenous Services Canada

Indigenous Services Canada

The complainant alleged that Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) did not conduct a reasonable search for records concerning housing guides and criteria for Indigenous communities from 1960 to 1990. The Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) found the search was initially unreasonable, as ISC failed to retrieve all relevant records. After further searches prompted by the OIC, 800 pages of responsive records were identified. The OIC ordered ISC to release records promptly, with a final response to follow.
