Annual Report on the Administration of the Access to Information Act 2016–2017

Table of Contents

Introduction

The Access to Information Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, Chapter A-1, 1985) was proclaimed on July 1, 1983, giving Canadian citizens and permanent residents the right to access information contained in government records, subject to certain specific and limited exceptions.

The Access to Information Act (the Act) gives Canadian citizens, as well as people and corporations present in Canada, the right to access federal government records that are not of a personal nature. The Act complements, but does not replace, other procedures for obtaining government information. It is not intended to limit, in any way, the access to government information that is normally available to the public upon request.

This annual report describes how the Canada School of Public Service (the School) administered its responsibilities under the Act during the 2016–2017 fiscal year. This report is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 72 of the Act.

The School acts much like a corporate training and development institution for its client organizations. It supports common public service learning at all levels nationwide and across 93 federal departments and agencies, while federal organizations focus on mandate-specific training and development. It has a legislative mandate to provide a range of learning activities to build individual and organizational capacity and management excellence within the public service.

The School has one strategic outcome: Federal public service employees have the common knowledge, skills and competencies to fulfil their responsibilities in serving Canadians.

Established on April 1, 2004, under the Public Service Modernization Act and operating under the authority of the Canada School of Public Service Act (CSPS Act), the School's primary responsibility is to provide a range of learning opportunities and develop a learning culture within the public service.

The School, a departmental corporation, is mandated under the CSPS Act to

  • encourage pride and excellence in the public service;
  • foster a common sense of purpose, values and traditions in the public service;
  • support deputy heads in meeting the learning needs of their organizations; and
  • pursue excellence in public management and administration.

The School supports deputy head accountabilities with respect to leadership and professional development across the public service by identifying organizational needs and designing and delivering high-quality, practical programs that address the key development requirements of public service employees.

Organizational Structure and Access to Information and Privacy Responsibilities

The School's Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) activities are primarily carried out by the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office, which is part of the Corporate Services Branch. This unit is led by the Director General of Results and Accountability in the Corporate Services Branch and is composed of a manager, who is the School's ATIP Coordinator, as well as one ATIP advisor.

The ATIP Coordinator is responsible for daily activities related to the administration of the Act.

In addition to its activities related to parliamentary affairs, the responsibilities of the School's ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office include the following:

  • processing requests for information submitted under the Access to Information Act and requests for personal information pursuant to the Privacy Act in accordance with legislation, regulations and Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) policies and guidelines;
  • responding to ATIP consultations received from other government institutions and organizations;
  • providing advice and guidance to requesters on the application of ATIP legislation as well as promoting awareness and training to School employees;
  • cooperating with the Office of the Information Commissioner and with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner on the resolution of complaints;
  • reviewing departmental documents prior to their proactive disclosure on the School's website;
  • ensuring that the School's information holdings (classes of records and personal information banks) are published in Info Source;
  • preparing the statistical reports and the annual reports on the administration of the Access to Information Act and on the administration of the Privacy Act; and
  • participating in ATIP community activities, such as the TBS-led ATIP coordinators' and ATIP practitioners' meetings and working groups.

Delegation of Authority

In May 2017, the Deputy Minister/President of the School delegated full authority for the purposes of the Act to the Vice-President of the Corporate Services Branch. Most of these authorities were also delegated to the Director General of Results and Accountability in the Corporate Services Branch and the ATIP Coordinator. A copy of the signed delegation instrument for the Act that took effect on May 25, 2017 is included as Annex A.

Interpretation of the Access to Information Act Statistical Report 2016–2017

The following outlines the information contained in the Statistical Report on the Access to Information Act for 2016–2017, which is included as Annex B.

Requests Received Under the Act, Consultations, and Informal Requests

Between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the School received 20 new requests for information under the Act. The School also had four outstanding requests from the previous reporting period. Twenty-three requests were completed and one request was carried over to the next reporting year.

In addition, the School received 11 consultation requests under the Act from other government institutions involving records of potential interest to the School. The School also had one outstanding request from the previous reporting period. Eleven of these consultation requests were completed during the reporting period, with a total of 391 pages reviewed. Recommendations were provided within the time set by the consulting government institutions. The remaining consultation request was carried over to the next reporting year.

Disposition of Completed Requests

Seven requests (30%) resulted in full disclosure to the applicant, while in nine cases (40%), some information was withheld in accordance with the Act's exemption provisions. In seven cases (30%) the requested records did not exist.

Source of Requests Received

The most common sources of requests were the private sector (business), with 10 requests (50%), followed by the general public, with eight requests (40%), and academia and the media, with one request (5%) each.

Completion Time and Extensions on Completed Requests

Sixteen requests (70%) were processed in 30 days or less. One request (4%) required up to 60 days to process. Three requests (14%) required up to 120 days to process. Two requests (8%) required up to 365 days and the remaining request (4%) required more than 365 days.

An extension beyond the initial 30 days is permitted if responding to the request would require a search through a large volume of records and responding within the first 30 days would unreasonably interfere with operations or if consultations are required. The School claimed an extension on six of the requests completed in 2016–2017. The extensions were required for operational reasons (workload pressures) and in order to consult another organization.

During the reporting period, the School was unable to meet its deadline for one request, representing 4% of the requests that were processed. In this instance, the deadline was missed due to the workload pressures within the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office, given that a total of 12,127 pages had to be reviewed for this request.

Exemptions and Exclusions

Exemptions and exclusions are the only grounds to withhold information found in records that are requested under the Access to Information Act. Their application is limited and specific, as stipulated in the Act.

For the requests where an exemption was invoked, the most frequently applied provisions were Section 20, the provision applied to withhold confidential third-party information, and subsection 19(1), which protects personal information pertaining to individuals other than the requester. In very few cases, the School also invoked section 16, which protects the integrity of investigations and security.

The Act indicates that certain types of materials are excluded from its application, specifically, records that are already available to the public (section 68) and Cabinet confidences (section 69). The School invoked an exclusion under section 69 on one request completed during the reporting period.

Format of Information Released

The School provided records electronically in 15 cases (94%) and in paper format in response to one request (6%).

Relevant Pages Disclosed

A total of 119,499 pages were reviewed by staff during the reporting period, with 119,375 of them resulting in disclosure (in full or in part) to requesters. The remaining 124 pages were withheld pursuant to exemptions under the Act.

The Act authorizes fees for certain activities related to the processing of formal requests. Current fees are specified in the Access to Information Regulations.

The School collected $100 in fees, as permitted by the Act and its regulations.

Costs

Salary costs related to the administration of the Access to Information Act incurred by the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office are estimated at $99,276. Overhead and maintenance costs are estimated at $2,126 for a total of $101,402.

Training and Awareness

The ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office informs and guides employees and requesters regarding the requirements of the Access to Information Act through ongoing dialogue and informal discussions. During the reporting period, the ATIP and Parliamentary Affairs Office employees responded to inquiries from employees and senior management, providing advice and guidance on various subjects pertaining to the Act.

A dedicated section on the School's intranet site provides School employees and ATIP liaison officers with key information on ATIP and reiterates employee accountability for ensuring that personal information is handled in accordance with the Act.

New Procedures, Guidelines and Directives

The School did not implement new or revised access to information policies, guidelines or procedures in 2016–2017. 

The School continues to post summaries of completed access to information requests on its website.

Complaints

The School was not notified of any new complaints received by the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) in 2016–2017. The OIC did not provide findings on any complaints regarding the School during the reporting period.

Monitoring Time to Process

Since the School is a small institution with a relatively low number of requests in comparison to other institutions, senior management is kept informed of time to process access to information requests by means of a monthly report and through ongoing verbal briefings.
