The complainant alleged that Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) improperly withheld the names and service numbers of Arctic Star recipients under section 19(1) of the Access to Information Act. VAC initially withheld some information but disclosed a portion during the investigation. The Information Commissioner consulted the Privacy Commissioner, who agreed that the information could be released as it fell under an exception to the Privacy Act's definition of "personal information." VAC agreed to release the remaining undisclosed information.
