5819-03380 — Trans Mountain Corporation

Trans Mountain Corporation

The complainant alleged that Trans Mountain Corporation (TMC) improperly withheld information related to Board of Directors meetings, citing exemptions under sections 21 and 26 of the Access to Information Act. TMC later claimed a total of 15 exemptions and failed to provide sufficient justification or detail for withholding the information. The Commissioner found TMC's application of exemptions was incorrect and disclosure was warranted. However, after the Commissioner issued an intended order, TMC released additional information, satisfying the complainant, and rendering a formal order unnecessary.
