Canadian Heritage (Re), 2020 OIC 10
Canadian Heritage
The Information Commissioner investigated a complaint that Canadian Heritage (PCH) had suspended processing access requests due to the COVID-19 pandemic. PCH was unable to access its premises or systems from March 16, 2020, to July 10, 2020, resulting in a backlog of 224 requests. The Commissioner found the complaint well-founded, stating PCH's failure to respond breached requesters' rights under the Act.
