A complainant alleged that Health Canada failed to identify all records responsive to an Access to Information Act request and should have provided an index of these records. The Information Commissioner of Canada found that Health Canada conducted a reasonable search and did not improperly withhold records. The Commissioner also determined that Health Canada was not obligated to create an index for this request, as it would have been unreasonable.
