Annual Report on the Administration of the Access to Information Act 2017–2018
Topics menu
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 2017–2018 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 more than 90 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.
Under its Departmental Results Framework, the School has a single core responsibility: to provide common learning to all employees of the core public service to serve Canadians with excellence.
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
- pursue excellence in public management and administration
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 and Government Accountability Unit, 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 comprises a manager, who is the School's ATIP Coordinator, as well as 2 ATIP advisors.
The ATIP Coordinator is responsible for daily activities related to the administration of the Act.
In addition to its activities related to parliamentary affairs and government accountability, the responsibilities of the School's ATIP, Parliamentary Affairs and Government Accountability Unit 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 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
- participating in ATIP community activities, such as the ATIP coordinators' and ATIP practitioners' meetings and working groups led by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
Delegation of authority
In June 2018, the Acting Deputy Minister/President of the School delegated full authority for the purposes of the Act to the Vice-President of the Corporate Services Branch. All of these authorities were also delegated to the Director General of Results and Accountability in the Corporate Services Branch and to the ATIP Coordinator. A copy of the signed delegation instrument for the Act that took effect on June 8, 2018, is included as Annex A.

Interpretation of the Statistical Report on the Access to Information Act for 2017–2018
The following outlines the information contained in the Statistical Report on the Access to Information Act for 2017–2018, which is included as Annex B.
Requests received under the Act, consultations, and informal requests
Between April 1, 2017, and March 31, 2018, the School received 29 new requests for information under the Act. The School also had 1 outstanding request from the previous reporting period. All 30 requests were completed, and none were carried over to the next reporting year.
In addition, the School received 22 consultation requests under the Act from other government institutions involving records of potential interest to the School. The School also had 1 outstanding request from the previous reporting period. All of these consultation requests were completed during the reporting period, with a total of 621 pages reviewed. Recommendations were provided within the time set by the consulting government institutions. Of the consultation requests, 18 (78%) were disclosed in full, 2 (9%) were disclosed in part, and 3 (13%) required further consultation with other departments.
Disposition of completed requests
There were 7 requests (23%) that resulted in full disclosure to the applicant. In 17 cases (57%), some information was withheld in accordance with the Act's exemption provisions. In 6 cases (20%), the requested records did not exist.
Source of requests received
The most common sources of requests were the general public with 20 requests (69%), followed by the private sector (business) with 7 requests (24%). Media and "declined to identify" had 1 request (a little more than 3%) each.
Completion time and extensions on completed requests
There were 26 requests (87%) processed in 30 days or less, 2 requests (6.5%) requiring up to 60 days to process, and 2 requests (6.5%) requiring up to 120 days to process.
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 meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with operations, or if consultations are required. The School claimed an extension on 4 of the requests completed in 2017–2018. The extensions were required for operational reasons (workload pressures) and in order to consult another organization.
During the reporting period, the School was able to meet its deadline for all requests.
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 requests where an exemption was invoked, the most frequently applied provisions were subsection 19(1), which protects personal information pertaining to individuals other than the requester, and section 20, which provides for the withholding of confidential third-party information.
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 no exclusions under either section during the reporting period.
Format of information released
The School provided records electronically in 17 cases (71%) and in paper format in response to 7 requests (29%).
Relevant pages disclosed
A total of 32,609 pages were reviewed by staff during the reporting period, with 28,747 of these pages resulting in disclosure (in full or in part) to requesters. The remaining 3,862 pages were either withheld pursuant to exemptions under the Act or not relevant.

Fees
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 $150 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, Parliamentary Affairs and Government Accountability Unitare estimated at $73,610. Overhead and maintenance costs are estimated at $2,088 for a total of $75,698.
Training and awareness
The ATIP, Parliamentary Affairs and Government Accountability Unit 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, Parliamentary Affairs and Government Accountability Unit 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. However, no formal training activities were provided during the reporting period.
New procedures, guidelines and directives
The School did not implement new or revised access to information policies, guidelines or procedures in 2017–2018.
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 2017–2018.
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 with other institutions, senior management is kept informed of the time to process access to information requests by means of a weekly report and through verbal briefings. ATIP staff meet to discuss the weekly report with the Director General of Results and Accountability in the Corporate Services Branch, and with Communications officials. This report is also shared and discussed with the Deputy Minister/President, Vice-Presidents and Directors General on a weekly basis.
