John D. McCamus — Inquiry Officer

IPCOJun 20, 1990

Third party appeal to prevent disclosure of scooter approval statistics dismissed as information not supplied in confidence.

A requester sought access to information regarding the sales of specific scooter models by a third party manufacturer through the Ministry of Health's Assistive Devices Program.

The Ministry decided to grant access to a record of approvals for sales.

The third party appealed the decision, arguing the record contained confidential commercial information exempt under section 17(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

The Inquiry Officer dismissed the appeal, finding that the information was generated by the Ministry based on data supplied by dealers and purchasers, not the appellant, and was not supplied in confidence.

The Ministry was ordered to release the record.

Names of petition signatories ordered disclosed as they implicitly consented to release of their personal information.

The requester appealed a decision by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs denying access to the names of individuals who signed a petition requesting an inquiry into the City of Belleville.

The Ministry claimed the names were exempt from disclosure under section 21(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act as personal information.

The Inquiry Officer found that while the names constituted personal information, the signatories had implicitly consented to their disclosure by signing a public petition.

Furthermore, disclosure would not constitute an unjustified invasion of personal privacy.

The Ministry was ordered to release the names.

Requester v. Ministry of Municipal Affairs, 1990 CanLII 3857

IPCOJun 4, 1990

Names of petition signatories ordered disclosed as signing a petition implies consent to disclosure.

The appellant appealed the Ministry of Municipal Affairs' decision to sever names and addresses from a petition and related correspondence requesting a review of a municipal council.

The Ministry claimed exemptions under sections 13(1) and 21(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

The Inquiry Officer found that the Ministry failed to justify the section 13(1) exemption for a public servant's name.

Regarding the personal information of the petitioners, the Inquiry Officer held that signing a petition implies consent to the disclosure of that information, thus falling under the exception in section 21(1)(a).

The Ministry was ordered to disclose all severed information.
