5821-01140 — Health Canada

Health Canada

The complainant alleged that Health Canada improperly withheld records related to Tetra Tech under exemptions related to confidential third-party information and accounts of deliberations. The Information Commissioner found that Health Canada failed to demonstrate that certain withheld information met the requirements for exemption under paragraph 20(1)(b) because it was publicly available, not supplied by the third party, or not objectively confidential. However, the Commissioner found that Health Canada properly exercised its discretion in withholding information under paragraph 21(1)(b). The complaint was found to be well-founded regarding the paragraph 20(1)(b) exemptions.
