5821-01206 — Library and Archives Canada

Library and Archives Canada

The complainant alleged that Library and Archives Canada (LAC) had improperly withheld information under subsection 15(1) (national security and international relations) of the Access to Information Act. The records requested were from the Intelligence Advisory Committee, 1989-1995, concerning migration trends and global developments. The OIC found that similar records had been disclosed previously and the information reflected public debate, thus not meeting the requirements of subsection 15(1). LAC disclosed the records in full on January 20, 2023.
