The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to conduct a reasonable search for records related to "Ops 3" and "Ops 4" files under the Access to Information Act. Initially, PCO provided only two pages, which were a Records Retention and Disposal Authority form, not the requested operational records. The Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) found that PCO's initial search was inadequate, particularly as no documents from specific Interdepartmental Committee on Security and Intelligence files, which were known to exist, were located. Following the OIC's intervention, PCO conducted a subsequent search and identified 251 additional responsive pages. The Commissioner concluded that the complaint was well founded because PCO did not conduct a reasonable search initially. PCO was ordered to complete the retrieval and processing of all responsive records and provide a supplementary response to the access request by December 22, 2024. PCO has committed to implementing this order.
