5822-07530 — Privy Council Office
Privy Council Office
The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) did not conduct a reasonable search for records related to the review of the Canadian intelligence program between 1972 and 1975. The investigation found that PCO's initial search was not reasonable as not all relevant records were retrieved. Following the OIC's intervention, PCO conducted a subsequent search and identified 265 additional pages of responsive records. The Information Commissioner ordered PCO to provide a supplementary response by March 18, 2025.

Nov 1, 20242024 OIC 78
Decision pursuant to 6.1, 2024 OIC 78
Government Institution
An institution applied to the Information Commissioner for approval to decline an access request, arguing it was an abuse of the right to access information. The institution estimated the request would generate over 8,200 emails and take years to process, significantly impacting its operations and other requesters' rights. However, the Commissioner found the institution failed to provide sufficient evidence of the request constituting an abuse or demonstrating a link between the estimated workload and interference with other requesters' rights. Consequently, the application was denied.
