The complainant alleged that CMHC improperly withheld records concerning the Canada Mortgage Bonds (CMB) and National Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities (NHA MBS) programs, citing several exemptions including government and third-party financial information. While CMHC justified withholding some information under exemptions for government financial/technical information and material available for purchase, it failed to provide sufficient justification for withholding third-party information under paragraph 20(1)(b). The Information Commissioner ordered CMHC to disclose this third-party information.
The complainant alleged that Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) improperly withheld information related to communications about pig care standards. The information was claimed to be exempt under personal information (subsection 19(1)) and confidential third-party information (paragraph 20(1)(b)) exemptions. While some information was disclosed during the investigation, and the Commissioner found the remaining personal information properly withheld, the Commissioner determined that the information withheld under paragraph 20(1)(b) did not meet the exemption criteria. Therefore, the complaint was found to be well-founded.
