5820-02287 — Public Services and Procurement Canada and House of Commons

Public Services and Procurement Canada

The complainant alleged that Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) improperly withheld records concerning the use of Indigenous languages in the House of Commons proceedings, citing exemptions related to government and third-party negotiations. The Information Commissioner found that PSPC failed to justify withholding information under paragraph 20(1)(d) regarding third-party negotiations. While PSPC could withhold per diem rates under paragraph 18(b) related to government negotiations, it failed to reasonably exercise its discretion in doing so. The Commissioner ordered PSPC to disclose most of the withheld information and reconsider its decision on the per diem rates.

Adjudicator: Caroline Maynard
Plain-Language Summary

The complainant alleged that Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) improperly withheld records concerning the use of Indigenous languages in the House of Commons proceedings, citing exemptions related to government and third-party negotiations. The Information Commissioner found that PSPC failed to justify withholding information under paragraph 20(1)(d) regarding third-party negotiations. While PSPC could withhold per diem rates under paragraph 18(b) related to government negotiations, it failed to reasonably exercise its discretion in doing so. The Commissioner ordered PSPC to disclose most of the withheld information and reconsider its decision on the per diem rates.

Key Issues
  • Proper application of paragraph 18(b) (negotiations by government institutions)
  • Proper application of paragraph 20(1)(d) (negotiations by a third party)
  • Reasonable exercise of discretion to withhold information
  • Burden of proof on the institution to justify exemptions
