The complainant alleged that Canadian Heritage (PCH) failed to conduct reasonable searches for records concerning registered lobbying communications from 2020-2021. The Information Commissioner found that while the Offices of Primary Interest (OPIs) initially tasked did their jobs, PCH did not involve all OPIs most likely to hold responsive records, specifically the Corporate Secretariat and the Digital and Creative Marketplace Frameworks. The Commissioner ordered PCH to task the relevant OPIs, conduct new searches, and provide access to any additional responsive records.
