Federal (Canada)Access to Information ActNot well-founded
Nov 7, 20255824-02892· Indexed Apr 21, 2026

5824-02892 — Privy Council Office

Privy Council Office

The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office's (PCO) record-keeping practices for appointment processes did not comply with the Access to Information Act, specifically regarding interview notes. PCO stated that interview notes are considered transitory records, used to support deliberations, and are destroyed after appointments, with only the final advice letter to the Minister being the official record. The Commissioner found no evidence that records were destroyed with the intent to deny access, concluding the notes were transitory and their destruction did not violate the Act. The complaint was therefore not well founded.

5824-02892 — Privy Council Office

Nov 7, 20255824-02892
Adjudicator: Caroline Maynard
Plain-Language Summary

The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office's (PCO) record-keeping practices for appointment processes did not comply with the Access to Information Act, specifically regarding interview notes. PCO stated that interview notes are considered transitory records, used to support deliberations, and are destroyed after appointments, with only the final advice letter to the Minister being the official record. The Commissioner found no evidence that records were destroyed with the intent to deny access, concluding the notes were transitory and their destruction did not violate the Act. The complaint was therefore not well founded.

Key Issues
  • Whether PCO's practice of destroying interview notes constitutes non-compliance with the Access to Information Act.
  • Whether the interview notes qualify as transitory records that can be disposed of.
  • Whether the destruction of interview notes with intent to deny access constitutes an offence under section 67.1 of the Act.
