CLARIFICATION - Announcements: Trailer for FOI movie: "Re/Quest" and Information Commisssioner

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

All;

I contacted OIPC regarding a ATIA request and received the following clarification:

The OIC pilot project to exercise our discretion to waive the $5 application fee does not apply to whole community of federal institutions.  It is an OIC  specific initiative.  Also, the OIC can only process records under the ATIA that we control. Any requests under the ATIA for records under the control of other federal institutions have to be made directly to them, and could well involve the $5 application fee.

 

Please see the link below to learn more about our pilot project

 

I hope this is helpful - please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions.

I wanted to order the following:

a) Industry Canada: All letters received regarding the changes to the long-form census.  Both the letters in support of its cancellation and those against it.

b) Statistics Canada: All letters received regarding the changes to the long-form census.  Both the letters in support of its cancellation and those against it.

c) Industry Canada: All calls received regarding the changes to the long-form census.  Both the calls in support of its cancellation and those against it.

d) Statistics Canada: All calls received regarding the changes to the long-form census.  Both the calls in support of its cancellation and those against it.

I will spend the 10$ and cost the Feds. 110$ to process the check.

Cheers

A couple of announcements:

The Office of the Information Commissioner has entered a six month pilot project where the $5.00 application fee for ordering records through the Access to Information Act is now being waived.  You can now order records from the OIPC by emailing the Access to Information and Privacy Officer, monica.f...@oic-ci.gc.ca

Not sure what to order? Maybe this trailer for the new FOI movie can help?

"Re/Quest: The Story of the Greatest Freedom of Information Legislation Mage" is a public education project about a young FOI Mage on an epic FOI quest into the Land of the Gatekeepers.
