Popis: | In 1991, a new statute, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1989, came into effect in Ontario. It is modeled on the earlier Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987 which continues to apply to public sector organizations at the provincial level. Rather than provide an overview of this area of legislation, this article concentrates on certain aspects of the legislation which may prove to be troublesome to members of the public using these statutes in the future. These potential difficulties in some cases lie in differences between this new statute which governs the conduct of municipal bodies and the original statute which applies to provincial organizations. Other problematic areas are common to both statutes. |
