| Report: | A-2026-009 |
| Report Date: | April 2, 2026 |
| Public Body: | Town of St. George’s |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to the Town of St. George’s for records of recommendations received by the Town from an auditor in December 2025. The Town located one responsive record and withheld it in its entirety under section 29 (policy advice or recommendations) of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015. During the investigation it was recommended that the Town conduct a line-by-line review of the record and release any part which would not reasonably disclose the recommendations. The Town agreed and provided the Complainant with the one-page letter with only the body withheld under section 29. The Commissioner found the exceptions had been properly applied and recommend the Town continue to withhold the information. |
