    After reviewing submissions and the responsive records, the Commissioner recommended the City maintain its position on the privileged records but that it release some records withheld under the other sections.

    The Information and Privacy Commissioner, Michael Harvey, has released a report under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act in a case concerning a Corner Brook complaint. In his summary, Harvey says the complainant made an access to information request to the City of Corner Brook for all records relating to a city-owned parcel of land dating back to 2010. The City responded by providing 835 pages of records, the majority of which it redacted due to legal advice.  The Complainant disagreed with all redactions and made a complaint to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. After reviewing submissions and the responsive records, the Commissioner recommended the City maintain its position on the privileged records but that it release some records withheld under the other sections.
