5824-00242 — Privy Council Office

Privy Council Office

The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to respond to an access request within the extended deadline. The request sought records related to committee studies of foreign election interference. The OIC found that PCO did not respond by the required date and is deemed to have refused access. The delay was attributed to the large volume of records and slow consultations. The Information Commissioner ordered PCO to provide a complete response by November 15, 2024, which PCO has committed to doing.

Indigenous Services Canada

The complainant alleged that Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) took an unreasonable amount of time to respond to an access request for records concerning G&R Recyclage.

The Information Commissioner found the complaint to be well-founded, ordering ISC to issue third-party notices by October 1, 2024, and provide a complete response by December 12, 2024. ISC indicated it would comply with the order.
