Summary: The Senior Investigator varied the Agency's decision. She affirmed its decision to refuse access to additional records under section 15(1)(a) of the FOI Act. She affirmed its decision to refuse access to records under sections 37(1) and 37(7) of the FOI Act, since the withheld information contains either third party personal information, or third party personal information that is inextricably linked to the personal information of the applicants. In relation to that part of the request seeking a statement of reasons, the Senior Investigator annulled the decision of the Agency and directed it to assist the applicants in the making of a request for a statement of reasons and to consider any resulting request under section 10 the FOI Act. She annulled a decision made on one part of the request deemed to be refused by the Agency and directed it to make a new decision in accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act.
