1. Introduction
The Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada (ATSSC) is pleased to present to Parliament its annual report on the administration of the Access to Information Act (the Act) for fiscal year April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016.
Section 72 of the Act requires the head of every federal government institution to prepare and table an annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Act during the fiscal year. This report provides an overview of the activities of the ATSSC in implementing the Act during the organization’s first full fiscal cycle.
The purpose of the Access to Information Act is to provide a right of access to information in records under the control of a government institution. It maintains that government information should be available to the public, that necessary exceptions to the right of access should be limited and specific, and that decisions on the disclosure of government information should be reviewed independently of government.
The Act is intended to complement and not replace existing procedures for access to government information and is not intended to limit in any way access to the type of government information that is normally available to the general public.
The ATSSC is fully committed to both the spirit and the intent of the Act to foster a culture of openness and transparency within the organization.
2. About the ATSSC
The Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada (ATSSC) was established on November 1, 2014, with the coming into force of the Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada Act. The ATSSC is responsible for providing support services and facilities to 11 federal administrative tribunals by way of a single, integrated organization.
These services include the specialized services required by each tribunal (e.g., registry, research and analysis, legal and other case- and mandate-specific work), as well as corporate services (e.g., human resources, financial services, information technology, accommodations, and security).
The administrative tribunals served by the ATSSC include:
- the Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal;
- the Canada Industrial Relations Board;
- the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board;
- the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal;
- the Canadian International Trade Tribunal;
- the Competition Tribunal;
- the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal;
- the Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board;
- the Specific Claims Tribunal;
- the Social Security Tribunal of Canada; and
- the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada.
The ATSSC also supports the National Joint Council, the forum for co-development, consultation and information sharing between the government as employer and public service bargaining agents.
The ATSSC reports to Parliament through the Minister of Justice.
3. The Access to Information and Privacy Office
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office is responsible for administering the Access to Information Act (the Act) on behalf of the ATSSC. Its mandate is to ensure compliance with the legislation, regulations and government policy and to create organizational standards and directives relating to the Act. Responsibility for the powers, duties and functions for the administration of the Act has been formally established and is outlined in the Designation Order signed by the Chief Administrator. The Executive Secretary and the ATIP Manager have been delegated authorities as described in the Designation Order included in Appendix A.
Within the ATSSC’s organizational structure, the ATIP Office reports to the Executive Secretary’s Office, which is under the direction of the Chief Administrator. Oversight of the ATIP Office is administered by the Executive Secretary. The ATIP Office consists of the manager, one analyst and one administrative assistant dedicated to access to information and privacy activities.
The ATIP Office receives, coordinates and processes requests in accordance with the Act, promotes awareness of the Act within the organization, fulfills reporting responsibilities relating to the Act, and provides expert advice and guidance to senior management and ATSSC staff on the Act.
4. ATSSC Statistical Overview
The ATSSC received a total of 37 formal requests under the Act. With 1 request carried over from last fiscal year, 32 of the 38 active requests were completed. Six (6) requests were carried forward into the new fiscal year.
In addition to the formal requests, the ATSSC received 25 consultations from other federal institutions and 8 informal requests. A copy of the Statistical Report is included in Appendix B.
5. Sources of Requests
Of the requests that were received this reporting period, 9 requests were submitted by the general public and 15 requests were submitted by the media. Requests were also received from academia (2), businesses (3) and organizations (8).
6. Disposition of Completed Requests
During this reporting period, the ATSSC completed 32 requests under the Act, 15 of which resulted in a partial release. In 4 cases, the information sought was released in full. No records existed in 7 cases. The remaining 6 requests were abandoned.
7. Exemptions Invoked
The Access to Information Act sets out specific exceptions to the right of access known as exemptions. Each exemption is intended to protect information relating to a particular public or private interest and form the only basis for refusing access to government information under the Access to Information Act. Of the 32 requests completed, exemptions to withhold information were invoked in 16 cases. The most frequently applied exemption was subsection 19(1) (records containing personal information) that was invoked in 13 cases.
8. Extensions and Completion Time
Requests can be extended beyond the 30-day statutory time frame in three circumstances: when the request is for a large number of records or necessitates a search through a large number of records (paragraph 9(1)(a) of the Act); when consultations are necessary (paragraph 9(1)(b) of the Act); or where the request requires giving notice to a third party (paragraph 9(1)(c) of the Act). During this reporting period, an extension under paragraph 9(1)(a) of the Act was taken in 11 cases because the request was for a large number of records or meeting the original time limit would have unreasonably interfered with the operations of the ATSSC. In 2 cases, an extension was taken under paragraph 9(1)(b) as consultations with other institutions were required.
The ATSSC responded to 2 requests within 1 to 15 days, 9 requests within 16 to 30 days, and 10 requests within 31 to 60 days. Eleven (11) requests required over 61 days to complete. Of the 32 requests completed during this reporting period, 91% were completed within the statutory time frame.
9. Consultations
Along with processing requests received under the Act, the ATIP Office provides recommendations to other institutions regarding the release of records that concern the ATSSC. During this reporting period, the ATSSC received 25 consultation requests from other federal institutions.
10. Training Activities
Ongoing access to information briefings occurred on an ad-hoc basis with our liaison officers. The liaison officers assist the ATIP Office in producing the requested records and providing insight into the subject matter of the requests. No structured training activities were provided during this reporting period. A training plan will be developed in the next fiscal year.
11. Policies, Guidelines and Procedures
The ATSSC is guided by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) access to information and privacy policy and guidance instruments. During this reporting period, the ATIP Office established a process map, procured an ATIP case management and document redaction system and created an inventory of reference materials.
12. Complaints
This reporting period, 4 complaints regarding the processing of access to information requests were filed with the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada (OIC) against the ATSSC. The reasons for the 4 complaints were: the transfer of a request to another institution; the application of exemptions; the delay in responding to the request; and the non-existence of records.
The OIC completed its investigation into 1 complaint against the ATSSC that was filed in the previous reporting period. The complainant alleged that the ATSSC failed to provide all responsive records. The OIC’s findings concluded that the complaint was not well founded. At the end of the fiscal year, 4 complaints were ongoing.
13. Monitoring
The monitoring of access to information requests was conducted via a detailed spreadsheet containing all relevant and necessary information to ensure compliance with the legislated requirements and reporting obligations. The spreadsheet was updated as new requests were received or the status of a file was changed. Weekly meetings between the ATIP Manager and the Executive Secretary to discuss workload and priorities also assisted the ATSSC in meeting its statutory obligations.
