Department of Justice Canada
The complainant alleged that the Department of Justice Canada failed to conduct a reasonable search for records related to the APEC conference, trade agreements, and the Hughes Inquiry. The department initially stated no records could be found. However, during the investigation, it was revealed that the appropriate sector was not tasked until much later, eventually leading to the retrieval of over 41,000 pages. The Information Commissioner found the initial search unreasonable.
