5822-01900 — Canada Revenue Agency

Canada Revenue Agency

The complainant alleged that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) failed to conduct a reasonable search for records in response to an access request for a 13-point list of specific record categories held by a named subject matter expert. The OIC investigation found that CRA's initial search was deficient, as evidence from the complainant indicated the likely existence of additional responsive records. Following the OIC's intervention, CRA conducted additional searches and confirmed that further responsive records existed. The Commissioner concluded that the complaint was well founded because the initial search was unreasonable. The Commissioner ordered CRA to complete the retrieval and processing of all responsive records and provide a supplementary response within 60 business days, granting access unless specific exemptions applied. CRA notified the Commissioner that it would implement the order.
