The complainant alleged that the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) improperly withheld information related to the Ksi Lisims LNG project under exemptions concerning confidential third-party information, financial impact, and negotiations. The complainant narrowed the complaint to specific pages, and the IAAC eventually agreed to disclose some information or could not justify withholding it under certain exemptions. The Commissioner found the complaint well-founded regarding information on pages 62, 63, 65, and 73, ordering their disclosure. The Commissioner also ordered the IAAC to re-evaluate the decision to withhold information on page 67 under discretionary grounds.

The complainant alleged that Shared Services Canada (SSC) took an unreasonable amount of time to respond to an access request for records related to solicitation documents. The Information Commissioner found SSC's benchmark for processing records and its inclusion of anticipated delays from new ATIP Express software to be unreasonable. While acknowledging SSC's difficulties with the software, the Commissioner stressed that it should not impede access rights. The Commissioner found the extension to be unreasonable and ordered interim releases and a complete response by September 30, 2025.
