5820-01102 — Environment and Climate Change Canada

Environment and Climate Change Canada

The complainant alleged that Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) improperly excluded weather radar data, claiming it was available for purchase. ECCC demonstrated that both real-time and archived weather data are offered through a cost-recovery system. As the information was available for purchase, it was excluded from the application of the Access to Information Act.

5820-01102 — Environment and Climate Change Canada

Dec 12, 20225820-01102
Adjudicator: Caroline Maynard
Plain-Language Summary

The complainant alleged that Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) improperly excluded weather radar data, claiming it was available for purchase. ECCC demonstrated that both real-time and archived weather data are offered through a cost-recovery system. As the information was available for purchase, it was excluded from the application of the Access to Information Act.

Key Issues
  • Whether the exclusion of material available for purchase under paragraph 68(a) of the ATIA was properly applied.
  • Whether real-time data, which must be created after the request is made, falls under the scope of the ATIA.
  • Whether the cost-recovery system for accessing weather data renders the information 'available for purchase' under section 68(a).
