The complainant alleged that Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) improperly withheld records concerning NRCan's representatives on the Board of Governors of the Maritime College of Forest Technology (MCFT). The exemptions cited were paragraphs 20(1)(b), 20(1)(c), and 20(1)(d) of the Access to Information Act, relating to confidential third-party information, financial impact, and negotiations. The Commissioner found that NRCan and MCFT failed to meet the criteria for these exemptions, particularly regarding confidentiality and the reasonable expectation of harm. Consequently, the Commissioner ordered NRCan to disclose the withheld information, except for any personal information or legal advice/litigation privilege that was also withheld.
