Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada

The complainant requested an agreement and land claim settlement signed in 2000 between the federal government and the Squamish band from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC). CIRNAC withheld information under paragraphs 20(1)(b), 20(1)(c), and section 23 of the Access to Information Act. The Information Commissioner found that neither CIRNAC nor the third party (Squamish Nation) demonstrated that the exemptions applied. The Commissioner ordered CIRNAC to disclose the records in their entirety, but CIRNAC indicated they would not be disclosing them.
