RAHMAN V. MINISTER OF EMPLOYMENT AND IMMIGRATION

INDEXED AS: RAHMAN V. CANADA

(MINISTER OF EMPLOYMENT AND IMMIGRATION)

File No.: IMM-2078-93

References: [1994] F.C.J. No. 2041 (QL)(F.C.T.D.)

Date of Decision: June 10, 1994

Before: Denault J. (F.C.T.D.)

Section(s) of ATIA / PA: S. 8(2)(a) Privacy Act (PA)

Abstract

• Immigration

• Authority to collect information relating to admissibility andConvention refugee claim

• Disclosure of border documents to Convention RefugeeDetermination Division within para. 8(2)(a) of the Privacy Act

Issue

Whether the border documents were inadmissible on thegrounds that their disclosure to the Convention RefugeeDetermination Division contravened the Privacy Act.

Facts

This was an application for judicial review of a decision madeby the Convention Refugee Determination Division of theImmigration and Refugee Board (hereinafter the “CRDD”)

which dismissed the applicant’s claim for refugee status onthe ground that his testimony generally lacked credibility. Inreaching its decision, the CCRD relied on border documents,specifically on the “examination sheet” of an immigrationofficer who examined the applicant at the port of entry.A comparison of the applicant’s oral testimony with thisdocumentary evidence led the CCRD to conclude that theapplicant gave totally different, mutually exclusive, reasonsfor his departure from Bangladesh and that, therefore, helacked credibility.

The applicant submitted, among other things, that the borderdocuments were inadmissible because they were protected bythe Privacy Act. More particularly, the applicant argued that adetermination of admissibility is unrelated to a Conventionrefugee determination and that, therefore, the immigrationofficer had no authority to collect information relating to theapplicant’s refugee claim. The applicant further argued thatthe proper procedure for their disclosure pursuant to theAccess to Information Act had not been followed.

Decision

The application for judicial review was dismissed. (Withrespect to the issue of whether the CCRD’s determinationwas arbitrary and capricious, see the text of the decision.)

BULLETIN

Reasons

The immigration officer had authority, under subs. 12(1) of theImmigration Act, to collect information to determine whetherthe applicant should be admitted into Canada. It was alsowithin his authority, under subs. 44(1) of that Act, to collectthe information that the applicant was seeking a determinationof a refugee claim and any other information relevant to thatclaim. The border documents to which the CCRD referredcontained information relevant to both his admissibility andhis refugee claim.

The purpose for which the information was collected maybe expressed as general immigration purposes or, morespecifically, as admissibility and refugee determinationpurposes. Under either interpretation, the use by theConvention Refugee Determination Division of the informationfor the purpose of determining whether the applicant was aConvention refugee may be considered for the same purposefor which it was obtained or, in the alternative, a consistentpurpose pursuant to para. 8(2)(a) of the Privacy Act.

Since neither para. 8(2)(a) nor the Privacy Act or the Access toInformation Act mandate a particular procedure for disclosure,it would be unreasonable to impose an intervening process,other than timely disclosure to the applicant, between theCanada Employment and Immigration Commission (theinstitution who collected the information) and the Immigrationand Refugee Board.Arch

BULLETIN

Facts

This is an application for judicial review of the decision of theImmigration Refugee Board rejecting the refugee claim ofthe applicant on the ground that he lacked credibility. Theapplicant, a citizen from Nigeria, signed two personalinformation forms which differed in content. In one of theforms, the applicant stated that he had been charged withmurder and released on bail in Nigeria. Information obtainedfrom the Nigerian police through Canadian diplomaticchannels revealed that the applicant had not been chargedwith murder. In reaching its decision, the Board admitted intoevidence the telex from the Canadian High Commission inLagos which confirmed that information.

The applicant submitted that the admission into evidence ofthe telex violated his rights under the Privacy Act. He arguedthat the confidential statements in the personal informationform had been improperly disclosed by officials of theCanadian government.

Decision

The application for judicial review was dismissed. (Withrespect to the issue of whether the Board exercised itsdiscretion properly, see the text of the decision.)

BULLETIN

Reasons

There was no evidence to indicate that any confidentialinformation given by the applicant in his personal informationform had been disclosed. Alternatively, even if Canadianofficials had provided confidential information to the Nigerianpolice, the disclosure was made for the purpose of permittingthe Minister to formulate an opinion as to whether theapplicant’s claim raised a matter which fell within one of theArticles of the United Nations Convention Relating to theStatus of Refugees. Since the applicant provided theinformation for immigration purposes, its use, if any, by theMinister or his representatives was clearly “for a useconsistent with that purpose” within the meaning of para.8(2)(a) of the Privacy Act.

• Considerations relevant in award of costs under ATIA

Issues

(1) Whether the application for judicial review raised importantnew principles in relation to the ATIA so that the Courtmust award costs to the applicant;

Facts

This is an application by the applicant, the Hon. SinclairStevens, for costs under s. 53 of the Access to InformationAct. The Federal Court, Trial Division dismissed Mr. Stevens’application for judicial review of the refusal by the PrivyCouncil Office to release the billing accounts and thesupporting documents of the Commission counsel ((1997),144 D.L.R. (4th) 553).

The issues raised in the course of the application for reviewwere the following: whether solicitors’ accounts are subjectto solicitor-client privilege, whether there was a waiver of thatprivilege and whether the head of a government institution,in deciding whether or not to disclose information that issubject to solicitor-client privilege under s. 23 of the Act,had regard to the relevant considerations for the exercise ofdiscretion under the section.

Decision

The application for costs was dismissed.

Reasons

Issue 1The privilege and waiver principles arising in this case donot qualify as important new principles in relation to the Act.They are issues which will apply in other contexts as well asin the ATIA context.

In addition, there is no basis for construing solicitor-clientprivilege narrowly under the ATIA so as to exclude solicitors’accounts or portions of them from the privilegedArch

categorization. Firstly, the Trial Division decision dismissedsuch an approach: “Solicitor-client privilege is a substantiverule of law, and its breadth is not meant to vary dependingon whether it is invoked for the purposes of the Access toInformation Act or in some other context.” Secondly, the factthat solicitor-client privilege is not affected by the subs. 2(1)principle that exemptions are to be interpreted narrowly doesnot constitute an important new principle in relation to the Act.

Finally, the issue respecting the exercise of discretion under s.23 of the ATIA did not raise a new important principle.

Issue 2The applicant’s arguments in support of a discretionary awardof costs were rejected. (1) Although the case was complex,complexity did not favour the applicant as opposed to therespondent; both had to contend with complex issues; (2) theamelioration of hardship is not a relevant consideration in theaward of costs under the ATIA; (3) although the ambiguity ofthe respondent’s position regarding the identity of the client inthe solicitor-client relationship would have been a factor toconsider in reducing or eliminating an award to a successfulparty, it does not justify a discretionary award of costs to theunsuccessful party.

Comments

The applicant’s appeal from the Trial Division decisiondismissing the s. 41 ATIA application for judicial reviewwas dismissed (A-263-97, June 5, 1998).Arch

The applicant had applied to the Access to InformationCoordinator of the Canadian Human Rights Commission(the CHRC) for the text of an agreement approved onJanuary 28, 1993 in Tmychyshyn v. Canadian Pacific Ltd.

This agreement was the result of a complaint submitted tothe CHRC by a diabetic, Mr. Gregory Tmychyshyn, againsthis employer, Canadian Pacific Ltd. The claimant alleged thatthe employer’s policy of refusing employment to diabeticswho had to use insulin was based on a prohibited ground ofdiscrimination pursuant to ss. 3 and 7 of the Canadian HumanRights Act (the CHRA).

During the proceedings before the CHRC, but before thehearing began before a Human Rights Tribunal, the partiessettled their dispute. Under subs. 48(1) of the CHRA, theparties had to refer the terms of the settlement to the CHRCfor approval.

The applicant, a medical expert in health and safety, had beenfollowing Mr. Tymchyshyn’s complaint closely and, after theJanuary 1993 agreement was reached, he submitted a requestfor access to the record, in accordance with the ATIA. Theapplicant asked that the contents of the agreement bedisclosed to him because the individual concerned gave hisconsent and the public interest required such disclosure. TheCHRC refused to provide the record on the grounds that theagreement contained a non-disclosure clause and that subs.19(1) of the ATIA prohibited it from disclosing the wording ofthe agreement. The applicant appealed from this decision tothe Information Commissioner, where his application sufferedthe same fate.

The applicant appealed from the decision of theCommissioner to the Federal Court. The Federal Court TrialDivision ruled (1) that the decisions by the CHRC and theInformation Commissioner were in compliance, on the factsand at law, with the provisions of the ATIA; (2) that s. 48 ofthe CHRA protects the public interest; and (3) that a non-disclosure clause endorsed by the CHRC must be respectedby both the Court and the public authorities.

Decision

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

In order to conclude that the appellant’s argument has merit,the individual referred to in subs. 19(2) of the ATIA must haveduly consented to disclosure. It is by no means a given thatthe letter in which the individual concerned stated that he hadno objection to disclosure of the document, if authorized bythe Court, constituted such consent. As counsel for theindividual put it in the letter: “While Mr. [X] is prepared toabide by his agreement with [Y], if the Court orders disclosureof the settlement agreement, he has no personal objection torelease of this information.”

Furthermore, the Court sees no reason to intervene inthe decision of the Trial Judge, who relied on s. 48 of theCanadian Human Rights Act to reject the argument that itwas necessary to disclose the document for the sake ofpublic interest.

We must compare this decision with Canada (CanadianBroadcasting Corporation) v. Canada (National CapitalCommission), dated May 19, 1998 (T-2200-97), in which it washeld that a confidentiality clause does not take precedenceover the Access to Information Act. The two cases aredistinguishable because, in Grimard, the non-disclosureclause was endorsed by the Canadian Human RightsCommission.

BULLETIN

Facts

This was a s. 44 ATIA application for review of the decisionby the National Capital Commission (“NCC”) to disclose anAgreement between themselves and the CanadianBroadcasting Corporation (“CBC”).

The CBC and the NCC entered into an Agreement in 1996 toproduce and broadcast Canada Day shows for 1996 and1997. The Agreement contained all the terms and conditionspursuant to which the parties agreed to produce andbroadcast the shows. Article 7.14 of the Agreement containeda confidentiality clause between the parties and required theprior written consent of the other party before making anyreference to the Agreement’s terms. The confidentialityclause also noted that the NCC is subject to the ATIA, andthat the “NCC recognizes that the CBC is exempt from theprovisions of the ATIA and that this exemption supersedesthe foregoing”.

On July 31, 1997 the NCC received a request under the ATIApertaining to the Agreement. On September 24, 1997 the NCCindicated that they would be disclosing the Agreement. OnOctober 10, 1997 the CBC filed an originating notice ofmotion for review of the decision to disclose.

Decision

The application for judicial review was dismissed.Archive

Reasons

Issue 1Teitelbaum J. first outlined the test which the applicant wouldhave to meet in relation to paras. 20(1)(c) and (d). He referredto Canada Packers Inc. v. Canada (Minister of Agriculture),[1989] 1 F.C. 47 (C.A.) at page 60 where the Court held thatexceptions to access in paras. 20(1)(c) and (d) require areasonable expectation of probable harm. Teitelbaum J.also noted Canada (Information Commissioner) v. Canada(Prime Minister), [1993] 1 F.C. 427 (T.D.) in reference to howthe statute places a “heavy burden” upon the party attemptingto prevent disclosure. Finally, he reiterated the standard ofproof as being the balance of probabilities (Tridel Corp. v.Canada (Canada Morrtgage and Housing Corp.) (1996),115 F.T.R. 185 (F.C.T.D.) at pages 196 and 201).

In reference to para. 20(1)(c), Teitelbaum J. applied SNC-Lavalin v. Canada (Minister of Public Works) (1994), 79 F.T.R.113 (F.C.T.D.) at page 217 where the Court held that anapplicant cannot merely affirm by affidavit that disclosurewould cause the harm discussed in para. 20(1)(c) of the Act.The Court stated that these affirmations are the very findingsthat the Court must make and so further evidence establishingharm is necessary.

On these facts, Teitelbaum held that the affidavits merelyconfirmed the probability of harm without giving any evidenceof the reasonable expectation of probable harm to theapplicant if the information was divulged. Evidence wasnecessary as the reasonable expectation of probable harmwas not self-evident.

BULLETIN

In reference to para. 20(1)(d), Teitelbaum J. relied on Canada(Information Commissioner) v. Canada (Minister of ExternalAffairs), [1990] 3 F.C. 665 (T.D.) at pages 682-683 where theCourt held that para. 20(1)(d) requires proof of a reasonableexpectation that actual contractual negotiations other thandaily business operations of the applicant will be obstructedby disclosure. Evidence of the possible effect of disclosure onother contracts generally and hypothetical problems areinsufficient to qualify under the exemption. Also noted wasSociété Gamma Inc. v. Canada (Secretary of State) (1994), 79F.T.R. 42 (F.C.T.D.) where the Court stated that para. 20(1)(d)must refer to an obstruction in negotiations rather than merelythe heightening of competition which might flow fromdisclosure.

On these facts, because of the lack of evidence about theeffect on actual contractual negotiations, the applicant failedto satisfy the requirements of para. 20(1)(d) of the ATIA.

Issue 2The confidentiality clause in the Agreement will not preventthe Court from granting access to the terms of the Agreementif disclosure does not contravene paras. 20(1)(c) and (d) of theAct. It may may affect the relationship of the contractingparties, but will not affect any third party making an accessrequest pursuant to the law.

Facts

The information at issue was personal information about boththe applicant and another individual in a sexual harassmentreport. Pursuant to a Privacy Act request, the applicantobtained the report. However, certain portions wereexpurgated on the basis that it was personal informationabout an individual other than the applicant. The informationat issue was personal information about both the applicantand another individual in the sexual harassment report. Whilethe applicant was not referred to directly, there was no doubtthe information related to him and the other person. Theapplicant sought access to the information that had notbeen disclosed.

Decision

The application is dismissed.

Reasons

The Court held that views of a person respecting a sexualharassment complaint in which he or she is involved clearlyqualify as personal information and cannot be viewed asviews “given in the course of employment” under subpara.3 (j)(v) of the Privacy Act. The Court also held that theapplicant’s right to personal information about himself was notparamount to the discretionary exception conferred on thehead of the government institution under s. 26 of the PrivacyAct. Specifically, when the information is about both theperson making the request and another person, the head ofthe government institution has the discretion to exempt fromdisclosure the other person’s personal information.Arch

BULLETIN

Facts

In 1992, Mr. Stevens made a complaint under the Access toInformation Act for disclosure by the Privy Council Office(“PCO”) of the billing accounts and the supporting documentsof the Commission counsel. The request sought all legalaccounts submitted by and cheque requisitions orauthorizations, subsequent to February 15, 1987, until thepresent relating to the Commission of Inquiry into Allegationsof Conflict of Interest Concerning the Honourable Sinclair M.Stevens. The request was partially successful, Mr. Stevensbeing provided with approximately 336 pages of legalaccounts, receipts and other related documents. However, thenarrative portions on 73 pages of the disclosed accounts wereexpurgated on the basis of s. 23 ATIA. The Commissionerwrote Mr. Stevens that the expurgated material was properlywithheld from disclosure.

Mr. Stevens filed a s. 41 application to the Federal Court (TrialDivision). Rothstein J. ((1997), 144 D.L.R. (4th) 553) dismissedthe application ruling that the material was protected by thesolicitor-client privilege, as it was “directly related to theseeking, formulating or giving of legal advice or assistance”.He also found that disclosure to the PCO did not constitutedisclosure to a third party, as the PCO is simply anotherdepartment of government; therefore, there was no waiver ofthe privilege. Even in the event that the PCO were a thirdparty, disclosure to that Office still would not amount towaiver, as the disclosure was compulsory pursuant to Order inCouncil P.C. 1986-1139. As well, the disclosure of somematerial did not amount to waiver as this disclosure wasinadvertent. Likewise, he held that disclosure of part of theArch

records, in the context of the Act, did not amount to waiverof the privilege attaching to the expurgated material. Finally,Rothstein J. found that there was nothing improper aboutthe discretionary decision and that there was no duty to givereasons for that decision.

This is an appeal from Rothstein J.’s decision.

Decision

The appeal is dismissed with costs.

Reasons

Issue 1A solicitor’s bills of accounts (also known as a statement ofaccount, legal bills, legal account, solicitor’s account or billingaccounts) is protected by the solicitor-client privilege. Anycommunications between a lawyer and a client in the courseof obtaining, formulating or giving legal advice is privilegedand may not be disclosed without the client’s consent. Thebills of account presented pursuant to that arrangement aremerely a necessary extension of those negotiations. This isthe basic rule as it applies in Canadian law today. Anexception to the privilege relates to that information which isnot a communication but is rather evidence of an act done bycounsel or is a mere statement of fact. This prevents a stiflingof the discovery process which would take place if a clientcould, by merely communicating a fact to his or her lawyer,prevent the discovery of that fact.Arch

ived

Just as obtaining legal aid is part of obtaining legal advice, sotoo is the negotiation of financial terms of the relationship witha solicitor. However, Linden J.A. did rule that lawyer’s trustaccounts and other accounting records (like a lawyer’s trustaccount, money held in trust for a client, trust accountledgers, general ledgers, bank reconciliation ledgers,execution of an agreement for the purchase or sale ofproperty) are not so privileged.

The expenses of government bodies, pertaining to legal feesor otherwise, are always of interest to the public. It is publicmoney that is being spent. In so far as the intent of the Act isgenerally to promote the transparency of government activity,the incorporation of the common law doctrine of solicitor-client privilege indicates that it was meant to be excludedfrom the operation of the Act. This same privilege, whenconsidered by Parliament in the context of the Income TaxAct, led to a recognition that in the interests of collectingrevenue, the privilege that might otherwise protect somesolicitor’s financial records was dispensable. Parliament didnot make that same determination in enacting this Act.

Though the appellant contends that the information which heseeks relates only to acts of counsel and therefore shouldnot be privileged, Linden J.A. was satisfied that the narrativeportions of the bills of account are indeed communications.This is not analogous to a situation where a lawyer sells apiece of property for the client or otherwise acts on theclient’s behalf. The research of a subject or the writing of anopinion or any other matter of that type are directly related tothe giving of advice. Despite the fact that the appellant is

content to have the specific topic of research remainprivileged, those other portions of the bills of account stillconstitute communications for the purpose of obtaining legaladvice. In those circumstances the lawyer is not merely awitness to an objective state of affairs, but is in the processof forming a legal opinion. This is true whether the lawyeris conducting research (either academic or empirical),interviewing witnesses or other third parties, drafting lettersor memoranda, or any of the other myriad tasks that alawyer performs in the course of his or her job. It is truethat interviewing a witness is an act of counsel, and that astatement to that effect on a bill of account is a statement offact, but these are all acts and statements of fact that relatedirectly to the seeking, formulating or giving of legal advice.And when these facts or acts are communicated to theclient they are privileged. This is so whether they arecommunicated verbally, by written correspondence, or bystatement of account.

Issue 2Linden J.A. was satisfied that the Trial Division Judge’sanalysis of the waiver and discretion issues was correct. Thequestion of whether or not people have waived their right toprivilege, absent explicit waiver, is one which must be judgedaccording to all the circumstances.

With respect to the release of portions of the records, a similarview has been adopted in British Columbia. In Lowry v.Canadian Mountain Holidays Ltd. (1984), 59 B.C.L.R. 137, atp. 143, Finch J. emphasized that all the circumstances mustbe taken into consideration and that the conduct of the party

and the presence of an intent to mislead the court or anotherlitigant is of primary importance. Linden J.A. stated that thisapproach is appropriate in this case, particularly in light of s.25 of the Act, which allows the disclosure of portions ofprivileged information. This is an attempt to balance the rightsof individuals to access to information, on the one hand, whilemaintaining confidentiality where other persons are entitled tothat confidentiality on the other hand. It would be a perverseresult, he said, if the operation of s. 25 of the Act were therebyto abrogate the discretionary power given to the governmenthead under s. 23 of the Act.

Linden J.A. also stated that with respect to the release ofportions of the records, that the Government has releasedmore information than was legally necessary. The itemizeddisbursements and general statements of account detailingthe amount of time spent by Commission counsel and theamounts charged for that time are all privileged. But it isthe Government qua client which enjoys the privilege; theGovernment may choose to waive it, if it wishes, or it mayrefuse to do so. By disclosing portions of the accountsthe Government was merely exercising its discretion inthat regard.

Facts

The applicants made requests to the National Archives ofCanada under the ATIA for all records of the CanadianSecurity Intelligence Service and the Royal Canadian MountedPolice relating to the National Office and the VancouverLocal of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers coveringthe years 1965 to 1992. The respondent, the Minister ofCommunications, refused to release some of the documentson the basis of the exemptions set out in subss. 13(1), 15(1),16(1) and 19(1) of the ATIA. The Information Commissionerinvestigated the applicants’ complaints and reported that theinformation that continued to be withheld was properlyexempted under the specified sections of the Act. Theapplicants sought judicial review under s. 41 of the ATIA ofthe refusal to disclose the records.

Decision

The application for judicial review was dismissed.

Reasons

In interpreting the exemption provisions, the Court must keepin mind the purposes of the ATIA as stated in subs. 2(1),which are that government information should be madeavailable to the public and exemptions should be limited andspecific. As to the role of the Court under s. 49, wheredisclosure was refused based on ss. 13(1), 19(1) or para.16(1)(a), the Court must determine that the head of theinstitution was not authorized to refuse disclosure. This is afactual determination based on a review of the material and a

comparison with the provisions of the ATIA. In contrast, unders. 50, where either s. 15 or para. 16(1)(c) is applied to refusedisclose, the Court must determine that the head of theinstitution did not have reasonable grounds to refuse todisclose before it can intervene.

With respect to s. 13, the Court must determine whetherthe information was received in confidence, and must besatisfied that it was so stipulated. It must also be satisfiedthat the parties supplying the information had been requestedto consent to the release and that such consent hadbeen denied.

With respect to para. 16(1)(c), the Court must determinewhether there was a reasonable expectation of injury at thetime the applications for request were made and be satisfiedthat the records sought were in connection with a lawfulinvestigation.

As to the interpretation of para. 16(1)(c), the Court relied onthe Federal Court of Appeal’s ruling in Rubin v. Canada(Minister of Transport) (1997), 221 N.R. 145 to the effect thatthe words “conduct of lawful investigations” in para. 16(1)(c)relate to a particular investigation and not to some unknownfuture investigation.

The Court found, after a review of the material, that (1) wheres. 49 was applicable, the head of the institution wasauthorized to refuse disclosure; and (2) where s. 50 wasapplicable, there was no instance where the head of theinstitution did not have reasonable grounds on which torefuse disclosure.

4. What impact do sections 60, 72, 73 and 74 of the OfficialLanguages Act have upon the applicant’s request forinformation? None

Facts

The Applicant (Robert Lavigne) alleges that he was forced touse the French language at work when he was employed inthe Montreal office of the Department of Health and Welfare(now called HRDC). He filed 4 complaints with the Office ofthe Commissioner of Official Languages (“OCOL”) whichinvestigated. During the investigation, OCOL conducted anumber of interviews including interviews with individuals whoworked with the applicant on a daily basis. OCOL issued itsreport which concluded that the applicant’s four complaintswere well founded. Following OCOL’s report, the applicantapplied to the Federal Court for a remedy against Health andWelfare in accordance with the provisions of Part X of theOfficial Languages Act.Arch

BULLETIN

In the course of the review before the Federal Court, HRDCfiled a number of affidavits, including those of three individuals(Chartrand, Doyon and Dubé). The applicant launchedthe present application to obtain the information containedin the notes taken by OCOL’s investigators in the course ofthese interviews. The Applicant was given parts of theinterviews in question and is now attempting to obtain theremainder of the requested material. OCOL is still reluctant torelease the answers provided by Mr. Chartrand, Mrs. Doyonand Mrs. Dubé.

Section 60 Official Languages Act (“OLA”) stipulates thatevery investigation by the Commissioner of Official Languagesshall be conducted in private. Section 72 states that the latterand his officials shall not disclose any information that comesto their knowledge in the performance of their duties. Section73 provides that the Commissioner may disclose informationin the course of proceedings before the Federal Court ofCanada under Part X or any appeal therefrom. TheCommissioner did not release the information because ofpara. 22 (1)(b) PA on the basis that disclosure would beinjurious to the enforcement of the Official Languages Act andbecause the Commissioner is abiding by sections 60, 72, 73OLA dealing with the confidentiality of information obtainedduring an investigation.

Decision

Pursuant to section 49 of the PA, this Court allowed theapplication and ordered the respondent to disclose all the“personal information” requested by the applicant. Costs wereawarded to the applicant.Arch

ived

Reasons

Subsection 60(2) of the Official Languages Act providesthat the Commissioner of Official Languages shall, beforecompleting his investigation, “take every reasonable measureto give to that individual or institution a full and ampleopportunity to answer any adverse allegation or criticism, andto be assisted or represented by counsel for that purpose”.The Court stated that the non-disclosure provision in section72 of the Official Languages Act is specifically made subjectto “this [Privacy] Act” including, of course, the abovesubsection 60(2) and section 73 of the Official Languages Act.Again, subsection 60(2) provides that the individual be givenfull and ample opportunity to answer any adverse allegation orcriticism, and section 73 stipulates that the Commissioner ofOfficial Languages may disclose information in the course ofproceedings before the Federal Court of Canada under Part Xor an appeal therefrom.

The purposive clause in section 2 of the PA states in clearterms that “the purpose of this Act is to extend the presentlaws of Canada” both to “protect the privacy of individualswith respect to personal information about themselves” and toprovide them “with a right of access to that information”.

The message is clear: disclosure is the rule and exemption isthe exception. In this case, the exemption invoked by therespondent falls under para. 22(1)(b) of the PA to the effectthat the release of the information will be injurious to theconduct of lawful investigations. A similar exemption appearsunder para. 16(1)(c) ATIA. The latter exemption was defined bythe Federal Court of Appeal in Rubin v. Canada as being a

limited and specific exemption relating to the ongoinginvestigation and not to other investigations in the future.In the instant case, the investigation was over.

In Justice Dubé’s view, the applicant is entitled to receivethe “personal information” he seeks. That information, hesays, is not exempt from disclosure under para. 22(1)(b) ofthe PA. The respondent has not established that there is areasonable expectation of probable harm to the conduct ofits investigations from such a disclosure. Witnesses toinvestigations ought to be informed in advance that theirtestimony about an individual may be disclosed to him. Theywill be very careful what they say. Proper circumspection willprotect the integrity of the investigative process and the rightof the individual concerned to be fully informed of the caseagainst him. Promises of confidentiality are not essential asthe respondent has the power to issue subpoenas, ifnecessary. The “personal information” to which the applicantis entitled is defined under section 3 of the PA, that isinformation about himself that is recorded in any form andincludes (under subs. 3(g)) views or opinions of otherindividuals about him. Under the PA, the applicant is notentitled to information other than “personal information”.

(2) Use of the exemption under para. 20(1)(c) to exempt theinformation sought from disclosure when the informationdeals with a third party which has great financial success.

(3) Refusal to give access to original document pursuant topara. 8(2)(a) of the Regulations.

Facts

The applicant is involved in research and developmentactivities and has forwarded various proposals for funding tothe Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), which isadministered by the respondent. Part of the mandate underIRAP is to provide funding for project designed to enhance acompany’s technical capability. In assessing funding requests,the respondent relies on information forwarded by theapplicants regarding their proposed projects. The director andowner of Occam filed an access request with the respondentfor Minutes # 78 of an IRAP meeting at which two othercompanies’ proposals were considered.

These Minutes, consisting of two pages were given to theapplicant after page one had been severed because itcontained third party information pursuant to paras. 20(1)(b)and (c) of the ATIA.Arch

ived

The applicant filed a second access request for Minutes # 77where further proposals were examined. Most of the fourpages of Minutes # 77 were severed and the exemptionsunder paras. 20(1)(b) and (c) were relied upon. In the course ofresponding to this second request, and to satisfy the applicantthat the first request met the requirement of the Act, theAccess Bureau of the respondent gave another copy of pageone of Minutes # 78 with exempted third party informationsevered by blacking out portions of the document. This copyhad more information severed by blacking out than had earliercopies. Furthermore, the applicant was able to read the entiredocument by holding it up to light.

The applicant complained to the Information Commissioner(the Commissioner) pursuant to the ATIA.

The Commissioner concluded that the withheld informationqualified for exemption under paras. 20(1)(b) and (c) of theATIA and that, although the applicant had been able to readthrough the blacked out portion of part of the document, ithad not been disclosed pursuant to the access law. Therefore,the exemption relied upon for that specific part is still availableto the government institution.

Decision

The application for review is dismissed. The informationsevered from the copy provided to the applicant of Minutes# 78, by covering portions of that record using black ink, isinformation included within paras. 20(1)(b) and 20(1)(c) of theATIA which, in accord with the ATIA, shall not be disclosed.

The Court will not intervene in relation to the decision bythe respondent to refuse to release or to permit access forexamination to the source document requested, namely pageone of Minutes # 78 because this reasonable decision waswithin the discretion of the respondent.

Reasons

Issue 1The Court relied upon the criteria set out in Air Atonabee Ltd.v. Canada (Minister of Transport) (1989), 27 F.T.R. 194 (F.C.T.D.)to conclude that the information exempted met all fourelements, namely:

1. financial, commercial, scientific or technical information,given dictionary definitions of “financial”, “commercial”,“scientific” and “technical”;

2. information determined to be confidential given anobjective assessment of its content, its purposes andthe conditions under which it was prepared andcommunicated;

3. supplied to a government institution by a third party; and

4. treated consistently in a confidential manner by thethird party.

That the respondent did not seek assurance that the thirdparties consistently treated the information as confidentialbefore refusing to disclose the information under para. 20(1)(b)did not undermine the respondent’s grounds for consideringthat the confidential regime applicable by its policy, from the

The Court held that although the applicant was able to discernthe contents of page one of Minutes # 78 that were intendedto be severed but were inadequately obliterated does notrelieve the respondent from its obligations under the ATIA.This information is exempt from disclosure pursuant topara. 20 (1)(b).

Issue 2The Court concludes that the general financial success or lackof it, of any third party has no significance in relation to thedecision to refuse to disclose requested information. Further,the decision of the respondent to exempt this informationpursuant to para. 20(1)(c) and to refuse to release theinformation, was not unreasonable. The Court relied onCanada Packers Inc. v. Canada (Minister of Agriculture), [1989]1 F.C. 47 (C.A.).

Issue 3The Court held that para. 8(2)(a) of the Regulations did notdepend upon the extent of information severed from a record.Rather it provides for the head of the institution to refuseaccess to a record, while providing access to a copycontaining disclosable information, where disclosure of part ofthe record, the original, may be refused under the ATIA andthat part cannot reasonably be severed for examination of thebalance. The respondent exercised its discretion under para.8(2)(a) of the Regulations reasonably in refusing to give accessto the source document from which the copies were madeand the Court will not intervene.Arch

Consequently,according to Desjardins, Ducharme, the Departmentcould not, in its memorandum, defend its decision todisclose the records requested by the intervener). No.

Objection under s. 44 ATIA of the decision of the Coordinatorto disclose the statements of concurrence concerning thebills of costs of Me André Joli-Coeur, the amicus curiaedesignated by the Supreme Court of Canada for the purposesof the hearing of the Reference re Secession of Quebec.Me Gauthier of the firm Desjardins, Ducharme was required tocertify the accuracy of the costs submitted by Me Joli-Coeurand to send them to the Department of Finance so thatMe Joli-Coeur could be paid.

A few days before the hearing of its application for review,the applicant filed a motion to dismiss the Department ofFinance’s memorandum of fact and law.Arch

BULLETIN

Decision

(1) The applicant’s application for review is dismissed(i.e. the information requested under the ATIA will haveto be disclosed at the appropriate time and place). TheCoordinator is ordered not to disclose Me Gauthier’sstatements of concurrence until the time for the appeal ofthe decision has expired. In the event that the applicantdecides to appeal the decision, the Coordinator shall notdisclose the statements of concurrence until the Court ofAppeal has disposed of the appeal.

(2) The motion to dismiss is denied.

Reasons

Issue 1Me Gauthier’s statements of concurrence are recordsunder the control of a government institution, namely, theDepartment of Finance. These statements were sent to thedefendant so that it could exercise the responsibility conferredon it by subs. 53(7) of the Supreme Court Act. Given thedecision of the Federal Court of Appeal in Canada Post Corp.v. Canada (Minister of Public Works), [1995] 2 F.C. 110 (C.A.),the simple material possession of records by the defendantis sufficient under the terms of subs. 4(1) ATIA to require itto disclose the information requested. Along the same lines,Nadon J. cited Strayer J. in Ottawa Football Club v.Canada (Minister of Fitness and Amateur Sports),[1989] 2 F.C. 480 (T.D.).Arch

Issue 2The applicant did not invoke, and therefore did notdemonstrate, any of the exemptions provided in subs.20(1) ATIA to justify a refusal to disclose the recordsrequested by the intervener.

Issue 3Nadon J. was of the opinion that s. 23 did not apply. Therelationship between Me Joli-Coeur and the Supreme Courtwas not a solicitor-client relationship within the meaning ofs. 23 ATIA. Even if solicitor-client privilege did exist, thisexemption does not apply to Me Gauthier’s statements ofconcurrence. The letter from the Assistant Deputy Minister toMe Joli-Coeur clearly states that the [Translation] “detail of theprofessional acts will be considered by all parties as protectedby solicitor-client privilege”. The Court found that “only thedetail of Me Joli-Coeur’s professional acts were deemed tobe confidential”.

Issue 4The motion to dismiss is denied. The rule restricting the rightof intervention of administrative tribunals to questions ofjurisdiction only does not apply in this instance since thenature of the recourse set out in the ATIA is de novo recourse(Air Atonabee Ltd. v. Canada (Minister of Transport) (1989), 27F.T.R. 194 (F.C.T.D.) is cited to this effect). Nadon J. concurredwith the statement of the Department of Finance that

in this Act and that it can therefore inform the Court ofits position with respect to the disclosure of the recordat issue; such is its capacity whether it objects todisclosure, in which case the ATIA imposes on it theexplicit burden of justifying its position, or whether theobjection comes from a third party, as is the case inthis instance.

The judge went on to comment that, in his opinion, ss. 44 and48 ATIA leave no doubt that a government institution mayparticipate fully in the discussions concerning disclosure ornon-disclosure of the information requested. Section 48explicitly states that a government institution that refuses todisclose has the burden of demonstrating the validity of itsrefusal. Consequently, s. 48 allows the government institutionto be part of the discussion. The judge states that, when agovernment institution agrees to disclose, it is s. 44 thatapplies. Under such circumstances, the government institutionmay participate fully in the discussion. It would be illogical toallow the government institution to participate fully only whenit refuses disclosure.

Facts

This is an application under s. 41 of the Privacy Act againstthe decision of the Commissioner of Official Languages (the“respondent”) for failing to release two documents which donot exist in the file. The respondent refused the applicant’srequest for a draft working document (the “preliminaryreport”), not filed and now destroyed, and for a document(the “fax”) which the respondent alleges does not exist or maynever have existed and, therefore, was also not filed.

The documents at issue pertain to a complaint submitted tothe Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages(“OCOL”) against the designation of a position as bilingualCCC-imperative. OCOL’s principal investigator phoned theapplicant to inform him of his preliminary findings to the effectthat the CCC level of the position was justified, but that theimperative designation of the position was not justified andshould be changed to non-imperative. However, the finalreport, which was issued under the supervisor’s signature,concluded that the designation of the position as bilingualimperative CCC was warranted.

The applicant submits that the respondent’s policies indicatethat the following should not be in a file: duplication and draftsof no archival or legal value. The applicant argues that thepreliminary report communicated to him by phone (1) wasnot a duplicate of the final report released to him as it waspenned by a different author and reached an oppositeconclusion and (2) was of archival and legal value becauseit was communicated to him. With respect to the fax, theapplicant submits that the respondent had either withheld itpurposely or destroyed it deliberately or negligently.Arch

ived

The respondent explained that when a draft is provided to asuperior for comments or approval, the supervisor will writehis comments on the draft itself and return the file to theinvestigator. The draft on the investigator’s computer isthereupon modified and reprinted by the investigator, and soon until the final approved version of the document is signed.The respondent further explained that the signed version isalways kept on file while the earlier draft versions may neitherbe physically placed on file nor saved as several drafts.

The respondent submits that it did not have a duty to keepthe preliminary report on file for two years in accordance withthe Privacy Act for the following reasons: (1) most of theinformation in the preliminary report was analysis; (2) thepersonal information contained in the final report wouldhave been the same or would have been contained in thepreliminary report; (3) the personal information contained inthe preliminary report was contained in the documents alreadyprovided to the applicant. With respect to the fax, it is therespondent’s submission that even if that document did exist,it would contain the same information about the applicant aswas contained in the final report.

Decision

The s. 41 application was dismissed.

Reasons

The Commissioner of Official Languages is bound by theTreasury Board policies with respect to how federalinstitutions should implement the Privacy Act.

BULLETIN

The Court cannot, with any degree of certainty, determine ifthe preliminary report contained any personal informationwhatsoever. In these circumstances, the best it can do is inferwhether the reports may have likely been different withrespect to the personal information contained therein.

The Court was of the view that a preliminary report or draftreport that contains personal information must be retained fortwo years pursuant to the Privacy Regulations if the personalinformation contained in such a document is different from,or not substantially identical to, later versions of the samedocument. Conversely, if the personal information issubstantially identical the draft need not be retained on file.

In the case at bar, the Court found that there was noreasonable basis to conclude that the personal informationin the preliminary report, despite the different conclusioncontained in the final report, was substantially different thanthe personal information contained in the final report.

Finally, the Court refused to draw the inferences advancedby the applicant regarding the deliberate destruction of thefax as such inferences, in light of the evidence, would havebeen unreasonable.

Understanding for data capture and release of customsinformation on travellers authorized by s. 8 of the Privacy Actand s. 108 of the Customs Act?

Facts

This is an application by way of a special case stated foropinion of this Court, pursuant to para. 17(3)(b) of the FederalCourt Act.

Recipients of benefits under the Employment Insurance Acthave an obligation, while receiving benefits, to search for workat all times while claiming benefits and to report any absencesfrom Canada immediately. The Canada Employment InsuranceCommission (the “Commission”) and Customs Canadaundertook a datamatch program to identify employmentinsurance claimants who fail to report they were outsideCanada while receiving benefits, and to recover any resultingoverpayments and, where appropriate, to impose penalties.Customs agreed to disclose to the Commission certaininformation contained on the Traveller Declaration Card (theE-311 Card) which would be used solely for the purposes ofthe Employment Insurance Act. Customs concluded that theinformation could be released to the Commission under para.108(1)(b) of the Customs Act, without offending the PrivacyAct. The disclosure to the Commission was done pursuant toa blanket authorization issued by the Minister of NationalRevenue in 1991 under para. 108(1)(b). That authorizationallows for the disclosure of information obtained for thepurpose of the Customs Act when, inter alia, the informationis required for the administration or enforcement of a law ofCanada or of a province.Arch

ived

The information made available by Customs consists of thetraveller’s name, date of birth, postal code, purpose of traveland dates of departure from and return to Canada.

The Commision conducts the match by comparing bothsources of information to produce what is commonly referredto as “hits” – names of persons who appear as out of thecountry and are receiving employment insurance benefits.The Commission then undertakes a number of further stepsto identify claimants who received employment insurancebenefits during unreported absences from Canada.Those claimants are then contacted and asked to provideinformation or an explanation in respect of the evidence thatthey had received employment insurance benefits during anunreported absence from Canada.

Decision

The disclosure of personal information by the Department ofNational Revenue to the Canada Employment InsuranceCommission pursuant to the Ancillary Memorandum ofUnderstanding for data capture and release of customsinformation on travellers is not authorized by s. 8 of thePrivacy Act and s. 108 of the Customs Act.

Reasons

This case was based on statutory interpretation. Whenascertaining the meaning of a statute, the courts are to applya contextual approach: the words of the statute are to begiven their ordinary grammatical sense and read harmoniouslywith the scheme of the Act.

Disclosure under para. 8(2)(b) of the Privacy ActUnder subs. 8(1) of the Privacy Act, personal information shallnot be disclosed by a government institution unless theindividual has consented to its disclosure or unless thedisclosure falls under one of the exceptions set out in subs.8(2). One of those exceptions, para. 8(2)(b), is very broad. Itauthorizes the disclosure of personal information for anypurpose in accordance with any Act of Parliament thatauthorizes its disclosure. In reaching that conclusion, theCourt rejected the Privacy Commissioner’s argument that theuse of the pronoun “its” in para. 8(2)(b) reflects Parliament’sintention that the disclosure of personal information must bespecifically authorized by an Act of Parliament. The PrivacyAct deals only with personal information; the use of thepossive pronoun “its” is simply indicative of the limited scopeof the Act.

Disclosure under para. 108(1)(b) of the Customs ActOn the issue of whether para. 108(1)(b) of the Customs Actexcludes personal information, the Court found that anordinary and normal construction of the words of thatprovision leads to the conclusion that any information,whether personal or not, may be disclosed where authorizedby the Minister.

The issue under the Customs Act revolved around theexercise of the Minister of National Revenue’s discretionunder para. 108(1)(b) of that Act. The Court found that theauthorization issued by the Minister was an invalid exerciseof discretion for the following reasons:

d

(1) in exercising his or her discretion, a Minister is required torely on considerations which are relevant to the purposes ofthe Act in question. In this case, the Act in question is theCustoms Act; (2) by issuing a blanket authorization, theMinister has fettered his discretion.

In reaching its conclusions, the Court relied on the FederalCourt of Appeal’s decision in Glaxo Wellcome PLC v. Canada(Minister of National Revenue), [1998] F.C.J. No. 874 (QL)(F.C.A.) which reiterated the test enunciated in Maple LodgeFarms v. Government of Canada, [1982] 2 S.C.R. 2 respectingthe exercise of a discretion by a Minister. The Court stated inGlaxo that “...a reviewing court is restricted to consideringwhether the Minister exercised his or her discretion in goodfaith, in accordance with the principles of natural justice andwhether he or she relied on considerations which are relevantto the Act’s purposes”.

The purpose of ss. 107 and 108, as stated in Glaxo, is “topreserve the confidentiality of information gathered in theadministration of the Act and to disclose it only in limitedcircumstances”. The condition specified in the blanketauthorization that information be communicated if required forthe administration or the enforcement of “any law of Canadaor a province”, and not simply the Customs Act, does notconstitute limited circumstances. In addition, to determinedisclosure based on an assessment of whether or not theinformation is required to administer or enforce a law ofCanada or a province indicates a reliance upon considerationsextraneous to the statutory objective of the Customs Act, asset out in Glaxo.

Secondly, the Minister has fettered his discretion by notexamining the particular circumstances of the matter. Asstated in Glaxo, “the essence of discretion requiresnevertheless that each matter be examined on its own meritsand in relation to its own particular facts and circumstances”.At the very least, the Minister himself ought to haveconsidered the Program as a whole. Instead, the Minister’ssweeping authorization undermines the entire purpose ofpara. 108(1)(b).

BULLETIN

Facts

This concerns a motion for dismissal based on s. 55 of theQuebec Code of Civil Procedure. The motion, filed byAliments Prince Foods (hereinafter the “plaintiff”), seeks adeclaration from the Court that the Department of Agricultureand Agri-Food (hereinafter the “defendant”) does not havesufficient interest to act. The defendant released recordsabout the plaintiff in response to an access request by aRadio-Canada reporter concerning Aliments Prince Foods.Following this disclosure, the plaintiff made an application forjudicial review under s. 18.1 of the Federal Court Act and s. 44of the ATIA. The Department is named as defendant in theapplication. However, the plaintiff challenges this designationon the following grounds: (1) the ATIA does not give agovernment institution that has released records the standingto be a party in an action and defend its decision; (2) theprincipal person concerned is the one who made the accessrequest, and the Department does not have sufficient interestsince it has already rendered its decision and, consequently, itno longer needs to defend the decision unless its jurisdictionis challenged.

Decision

The motion for dismissal is denied.

Reasons

The proceedings under s. 44 of the ATIA differ from thoseprovided in s. 18.1 of the Federal Court Act. Section 44specifies a de novo application. As defendant, the governmentinstitution must appear in court upon notice of the third party’sapplication, to present the reasons for its decision.

In addition, according to s. 18.5 of the Federal Court Act,when provision is expressly made by an Act for an appeal tothe Federal Court from a decision of a federal board,commission or other tribunal, that decision is not subject toreview except in accordance with that Act. In the case at bar,the appropriate remedy is provided by s. 44: see Canada PostCorp. v. Canada (Minister of Public Works) (1993), 68 F.T.R.235 (F.C.T.D.).

Section(s) of ATIA / PA: Ss. 7, 9, 10, 35, 36, 37, 41, 42Access to Information Act (ATIA)

Abstract

• Deemed refusal and true refusal

• Failure to respond within the time limit prescribed by ATIA

• Alleged loss of right to invoke discretionary exemptions

• Requirement of ss. 41 and 42 that the investigation of themerits of the exemptions be completed before the Courthears an application for judicial review

• Investigation and powers of the Information Commissioner

Issues

(1) Did the Trial Division err in finding that the proceedinginstituted by the Information Commissioner under s. 42 waspremature?Arch

ived

(2) Can a government institution still invoke discretionaryexemptions once a judicial review application has beenfiled before the Federal Court?

(3) Did the Trial Division err in holding that a party whichclaims that its right to a full cross-examination on theaffidavits of the adverse party’s witnesses has beenbreached cannot raise this during the hearing of the reviewapplication, but must do so by interlocutory motion underFederal Court Rule 332.1 (now Rules 83, 84 and 85)?

Facts

In 1994, the Department of National Defence (hereinafter“DND”) received a request for access seeking the disclosureof a report. DND notified the person seeking access that itwould invoke the extension of time provisions of s. 9 ATIA.At the expiration of this time limit, the person seeking accessmade two complaints to the Information Commissioneralleging failure to meet the deadline. The Commissionerinvestigated and considered the complaints to be resolvedgiven DND’s commitment to inform the complainant, by aspecified deadline, whether access would be given to all therecords or a part thereof. When DND failed to respond by thedeadline (DND had still not disclosed 155 of the 1,204 pagesof the report), the Commissioner initiated two new complaintspursuant to subs. 30(3) ATIA. The Commissioner negotiatedwith DND further extensions of time to respond but theinstitution did not comply within them. In 1995, theCommissioner filed a notice of application for judicial review inthe Federal Court pursuant to para. 42(1)(a) ATIA. Twenty days

after the application was filed, DND informed the complainantof its final decision refusing to disclose 22 pages of therequested record. The Commissioner asked the Trial Division:

…[to] order the Minister of National Defence, on theconditions it considers appropriate, to give writtennotice to the applicant as to whether or not accessto each of the requested records or a part thereofwill be given.

The Commissioner also argued as follows:

It [the institution] is barred from raising discretionaryexemptions, however with respect to the mandatoryexemptions set out in the Act, our position before youis that we are not claiming it is barred from raisingthose exemptions.

The Trial Division ((1996), 120 F.T.R. 207) dismissed the reviewapplication on the ground that it was premature. The Courtheld that DND’s decision did not constitute a deemed refusalto disclose based on the government institution’s continuingfailure to give access, but rather a final disclosure afterdeadline. According to the Court, a disclosure after deadlinedoes not necessarily nullify the government institution’s rightto avail itself of the exemptions provided by the Act becausethe Commissioner still had the opportunity to consider themerits of the exemptions and to solicit the comments of thegovernment institution.Arch

ived

The Commissioner appealed from this decision. He arguedthat the Trial Judge erred because, according to theCommissioner, he had conducted the investigation required bys. 42 ATIA, thereby fulfilling all the conditions precedent toinstituting the proceeding provided in subs. 42(1) ATIA.

Decision

The Federal Court of Appeal, in a unanimous decision,dismissed the appeal, thereby affirming the Trial Division’sdecision that the application for judicial review made by theCommissioner was premature.

Reasons

Issue 1The Federal Court cannot hear an application for judicialreview under s. 41 until the Commissioner has completed hisinvestigation of the refusal to disclose records. However, inthe instant case, the first part of the Commissioner’sinvestigation was limited to obtaining the institution’s responseto the question of whether or not access to each of therequested records or a part thereof would be given by DND.“There was never”, states the Court, “any question ofconsidering the merits of the refusal, and the Commissioner’srecommendation dealt with the answer to be given, not at allwith access to the record”. According to the Court, it wasclear that the Commissioner could not do what he did, i.e. filea complaint and decide on it immediately, without even givingthe institution the chance to respond. The Court rejected theCommissioner’s argument that the effect of the deemedrefusal was to prevent the institution from subsequently

invoking the exemptions set out in the Act and consequentlythat the Commissioner’s initial investigation allowed him todecide on the merits of the complaint. In the Court’s opinion,by applying to the Federal Court, the Commissioner skippeda step. He acted as if he had investigated the merits of whatuntil that time had been a deemed refusal, although he hadnot yet done so.

As the second part of the investigation concerning the meritsof the refusal to give access had still not been undertaken atthe time of the hearing at trial and therefore had not yet beeninvestigated, it necessarily followed that the Court could notgrant the Commissioner’s request “[to] order the Minister ofNational Defence… to [give] access…”. This application wastherefore premature.

The investigation that the Commissioner must conduct isthe cornerstone of the access to information system. Itrepresents an informal method of resolving disputes inwhich the Commissioner is vested not with the power tomake decisions, but instead with the power to makerecommendations to the institution involved. The fact thatthe Commissioner’s investigation constitutes a conditionprecedent to the exercise of the power of review, as providedin ss. 41 and 42 of the Act, attests to the importance of thisinvestigation. The Commissioner could not therefore properlyapply to the Trial Division of this Court for review as he hadnot fulfilled the condition precedent required in para. 42(1)(a),namely, that the investigation of the merits of the exemptionsapplied by the institution be complete.Arch

BULLETIN

The Court of Appeal explained the procedure to be followedby the Commissioner where a federal institution fails todisclose a record within the time limit prescribed by the Act.In these cases, under the terms of subs. 10(3) ATIA, there isa deemed refusal to give access, with the result that thegovernment institution, the complainant and theCommissioner are placed in the same position as if there hadbeen a refusal within the meaning of s. 7 and subs. 10(1)ATIA. The Commissioner may then initiate a complaint unders. 30 ATIA and notify the head of the institution (s. 32).He conducts the investigation, in the course of which theinstitution is given a reasonable opportunity to makerepresentations (subs. 35(2)) and for the purposes of whichthe Commissioner has the powers prescribed by ss. 36 and37 ATIA. According to the Court, in the instant case, as soonas the institution failed to comply within the time limit, theCommissioner could have initiated his investigation as if therehad been a true refusal. The Commissioner’s powers toinvestigate are such that he may, at the beginning of aninvestigation, compel the institution to explain the reasonsfor its refusal.

Issue 2The Federal Court of Appeal reaffirmed the principles itenunciated in Davidson v. Canada (Solicitor General), [1989] 2F.C. 341, that hold that a government institution cannot invokediscretionary exemptions after the Commissioner’sinvestigation is complete because to do so would deprive thecomplainant of the benefit of this investigation, whichconstitutes the first of two safeguards, the second beingArch

judicial review. In the instant case, as this first step had notyet been undertaken, if the government institution intends toinvoke any discretionary exemptions, it must do so during theCommissioner’s investigation.

Issue 3The Court concluded that the Trial Judge had properlyexercised his discretion on this issue and that theCommissioner had had all the time required betweenthe cross-examination of respondent’s witness onFebruary 27, 1996, and the hearing of the review applicationon September 23, 1996, to file an interlocutory motion.

BULLETIN

The Depository Services Program (DSP) is a network thatdistributes federal government publications to more than800 libraries in Canada, plus another 146 institutions aroundthe world that hold collections of Canadian governmentpublications. The service, sponsored by the Treasury Boardand administered by Public Works and Government ServicesCanada, ensures that federal departments and agencies gettheir publications in the hands of their clients – the Canadianpublic, universities and other governments – cost-effectivelyand efficiently.

Every government department and agency subject to theCommunications Policy is required to provide copies of itspublications to the DSP. The publications are then sent topublic and academic libraries which house, catalogue andprovide reference services for them. The depositories makethe collections available free of charge to all Canadians andfor interlibrary loans.

In addition, the DSP provides publications to members ofParliament and senators, the research bureaux of politicalparties, central libraries of the federal government, and medialibraries. The government also uses the DSP to fulfil itsinternational obligations under official library exchanges tosuch institutions as the Library of Congress and to universitylibraries in other countries that have Canadian studiesprograms.Arch

BULLETIN

The DSP, established in 1927, ensures that departments andagencies have a way of making their conventional, electronicand alternative media publications available to the public.Without the DSP, Canadians would have difficulty gainingtimely access to federal government information.

There are two types of depository libraries. “Full” depositorylibraries automatically receive all information productsdisseminated through the program. “Selective” depositorylibraries choose from a checklist those publications that areof particular interest to their users. DSP sites are regionallydistributed across Canada.
