College of the North Atlantic |
| Summary:
|
The Applicant applied to the
College of the North Atlantic ("CNA") for access to a copy of all
amendments to the Comprehensive Agreement to Establish a Campus of
the College of the North Atlantic in Qatar. CNA initially responded
by denying access to the records on the basis of section 24 of the
Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the
"ATIPPA"). During informal resolution CNA agreed
to release to the Applicant all of the information within the
records which was proposed for release by this Office, with the
severed portions being withheld under section 24. The Commissioner
confirmed that the remaining information withheld by CNA was
correctly severed under section 24. The Commissioner further
determined that CNA had interpreted the Applicant�s request
reasonably, and that if further records are sought beyond those
considered in this Report, the Applicant should file a new access
request. |
