3219-00372 — Correctional Service Canada

Correctional Service Canada

The complainant alleged that Correctional Service Canada (CSC) improperly withheld an inmate's carceral file under subsection 19(1) of the Access to Information Act (ATIA). The investigation found that CSC had not retrieved or processed the records before applying the exemption, meaning they could not justify withholding the information. The Information Commissioner recommended CSC retrieve, process, and respond to the request, a recommendation CSC agreed to implement.
