Common Questions

I didn’t get the records I was looking for from a public body. What can I do now?
If you have filed a provincial or federal information request and are not happy with the response you received, or feel that your request was not handled properly, you can request a review from the provincial Information and Privacy Commissioner, or from the federal Information Commissioner of Canada.

You may also file a complaint if you are concerned that about the handling of your personal information by a public or private body.
