The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to conduct a reasonable search for records related to the creation of the Intelligence Coordinator position between September 1984 and February 1985, specifically mentioning a 'Memorandum for the Intelligence Coordinator' dated November 27, 1984. Initially, PCO did not provide documentation of its search efforts, leading the OIC to conclude that a reasonable search had not been demonstrated. Following the OIC's intervention, PCO conducted secondary searches, identifying 187 additional pages of responsive records. PCO committed to reviewing these records and providing a supplementary response to the access request. The Information Commissioner found the complaint to be well-founded and ordered PCO to complete the retrieval and processing of all responsive records and issue a supplementary response by December 10, 2024. PCO subsequently notified the Commissioner that it would implement the order.

The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to conduct a reasonable search for records related to a review of the Canadian intelligence program by the Intelligence Advisory Committee (IAC) for the Cabinet Committee for Security and Intelligence (CCSI) between January 1972 and June 1975. The investigation found that PCO's initial search was inadequate, as Offices of Primary Interest did not retrieve all relevant records. The complainant specifically identified several missing documents and references to unreleased annexes within the records provided. Following the Office of the Information Commissioner's (OIC) intervention, PCO conducted a secondary search, which identified an additional 265 pages of responsive records. Although the OIC was satisfied with the subsequent search, the complaint was deemed well founded due to the initial failure. The Commissioner ordered PCO to complete the retrieval and processing of all additional records and provide a supplementary response by March 18, 2025, which PCO agreed to implement.
