Introduction

The Access to Information Act (ATIA) (Revised Statutes of Canada 1985, Chapter A-1) was proclaimed on July 1, 1983. The ATIA gives Canadian citizens and permanent residents a broad right of access to information contained in government records, subject to certain specific and limited exceptions.

Section 94 of the ATIA stipulates that the head of every government institution shall prepare and submit to parliament an annual report on the administration of the ATIA for each fiscal year.

Consequently, this annual report is submitted by the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying (OCL) in accordance with the ATIA. It describes how the OCL fulfilled its access to information responsibilities during the reporting period from April 1st, 2021, to March 31, 2022.

In addition, this annual report is prepared and tabled in accordance with section 20 of the Services Fees Act.

The Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying

The Commissioner of Lobbying’s mandate, derived from the Lobbying Act (the Act), is to ensure transparency of the lobbying of federal public office holders. This contributes to increasing the confidence Canadians have in the integrity of government decision making.

The Commissioner's mandate is threefold:

  • maintaining the Registry of Lobbyists, which contains and makes public the registration information disclosed by lobbyists;
  • developing and implementing educational programs to foster public awareness of the requirements of the Act; and
  • conducting investigations to ensure compliance with the Act and the Lobbyists’ Code of Conduct (the Code).

Under the Act, the Commissioner of Lobbying also has the authority to grant exemptions to former designated public office holders who are subject to a five-year prohibition on lobbying activities.

The Commissioner reports annually to Parliament on the administration of the Act and the Code. The Commissioner is also required to table to Parliament reports on investigations, which include her findings, conclusions and the reasons for her conclusions.

Organizational Structure and Delegation of Authority

The ATIA provides the authority to the Commissioner of Lobbying to exercise all powers granted under the Act. The OCL’s Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Coordinator is delegated this authority via a Delegation Order, of which a copy is attached in Annex A. The OCL has two employees responsible for the administration of the ATIA, an ATIP Coordinator and an Administrative Services Officer.

The Director of Corporate Services was the ATIP Coordinator from April 1st, 2020, to March 31, 2021. The ATIP Coordinator is responsible for the development, coordination and implementation of effective policies, guidelines and procedures to ensure the OCL’s compliance with the ATIA. The Coordinator makes decisions on the disposition of requests under the ATIA, promotes awareness of the legislation to ensure organizational responsiveness to its obligations, as well as monitors and advises on compliance with the ATIA, regulations, procedures and policies. Further, the Coordinator acts as spokesperson for the OCL in dealings with the Treasury Board Secretariat, the Office of the Information Commissioner, and other government departments and agencies. The Coordinator is also responsible for conducting consultations with other federal organizations and other governments within Canada as required.

The Administrative Services Officer provides support to the ATIP Coordinator on the process of any requests received.

Due to the limited number of requests received, the OCL did not dispose of any service agreements under section 96 of the Access to Information Act during the reporting period from April 1st, 2021, to March 31, 2022.

Under the Act, the OCL collects information from registrants and lobbyists and the disclosures filed by registrants are accessible on the Registry of Lobbyists at the following address: lobbycanada.gc.ca.

The OCL’s Annual Report and Reports on Investigations must be tabled in both Houses of Parliament. They are also posted on the OCL’s website and on the Open Government Portal under the ATIA requesting that all reports tabled in Parliament be proactively disclosed.

Administration of the Access to Information Act

Statistical Report

Annex B provides a statistical summary of requests under the Access to Information Act (ATIA) received during fiscal year 2021-22.

In 2021-22, the OCL received 15 requests under the ATIA: 12 were processed formally and three were processed informally. Of the three requests that were processed informally, two were requests for information that was previously released under the ATIA. One was for information that was already public. 100% of the requests were closed within legislated timelines. The requests that were received pertained mainly to lobbying. One request was in relation to OCL’s internal services.

Sources of requests

Of the 12 formal requests received, seven came from media, two from the businesses sector, one from an academic organization, one from the public and one came from an unidentifiable source, as the requestor declined to identify.

Of the three informal requests received, one came from the public, one from an academic organization and one came from an unidentifiable source, as the requestor declined to identify.

Disposition and completion time

The three informal requests were completed in less than 15 days.

Of the 12 formal requests:

  • Eight formal requests were closed in 1 to 15 days:
    • For one of these requests, the documents were completely disclosed.
    • For one of these requests, the existence of records could not be confirmed nor denied under subsection 16.2(1).
    • For six of these requests, no records existed.
  • One formal request was closed in 16 to 30 days:
    • For this request, no records existed.
  • One request was closed in 61 to 120 days:
    • For this request, the documents were disclosed in part as they contained personal information (subsection 19(1)).
  • Two requests were abandoned:
    • These two requests were abandoned in less than 15 days. One was abandoned after the requester was advised that the information they were requesting was not held by the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying. After discussion with the second requester due to the vagueness of the request, the request was abandoned as the part of the information was already made public in our Registry of lobbyists and the other part was not held by our office.
Statistics for the disposition of records
Disposition Number of formal requests received Percentage representation
All disclosed 1 8%
Disclosed in part 1 8%
No records exist 7 58%
Neither confirmed nor denied 1 8%
Request abandoned 2 18%
Total 12 100%

Exemptions

As mentioned, one request was disclosed in part. This was due to the fact that this request contained information under subsection 19(1) that refers to material containing personal information.

For this request, the OCL released 12 pages on which some information has been redacted.

For one request, the information could not be either confirmed nor denied under subsection 16.2(1) that refers to information that was obtained or created by the Commissioner or on her behalf in the course of an investigation.

Extensions

An extension was requested for the request that was closed in 61 to 120 days. The extension request was made under subsection 9(1)(a) that authorize the head of a government institution to extend the time limit set out in section 7 or subsection 8(1) if the request is for a large number of records or requires a search through a large number of records and meeting the original time limit, under either of these circumstances, would interfere unreasonably with the institution’s operation.

Requests outstanding from previous reporting periods

At the beginning of 2021-22, the OCL had no active request that were outstanding from previous reporting periods.

Consultation from other institutions

In 2021-22, the OCL received 20 consultations from other federal institutions. All these consultations were completed in less than 15 days. A total of 128 pages were reviewed. For 17 of these consultation requests, we recommended that the documents be entirely disclosed. For three consultation requests, we recommended that documents be disclosed in part under subsection 19(1).

Evolution over the years

In 2021-22, the volume of formal request received and completed by the OCL decreased by 43% from the last fiscal year. The volume of consultations from other federal institutions received and processed by the OCL doubled.

Evolution over the years
Fiscal year Formal requests received Formal requests completed Consultation completed for other institutions
2021-22 12 12 20
2020-21 28 28 10
2019-20 13 13 15
2018-19 2 2 7
2017-18 5 5 12

COVID-19 impacts

As the employees of the OCL could already telework before the pandemic and because the Office receives limited access to information requests, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a major impact on the processing of access to information requests for the year 2021-22. Therefore, the OCL did not have to put in place mitigation measures.

Fees

The Service Fees Act requires a responsible authority to report annually to Parliament on the fees collected by the institution. With respect to fees collected by the OCL under the ATIA, the information below is reported in accordance with the requirements of section 20 of the Service Fees Act.

A $5 application fee is usually charged for an ATI request. That said, on July 12, 2019, the OCL took the decision to dispense the fees for the processing of requests pursuant to paragraph 7(1)(a) of the Access to Information Regulations. Consequently, the $5 fees for the 12 requests received during the year 2021-22 were dispensed, for a total of $60.

In accordance with the Interim Directive on the Administration of the Access to Information Act, issued on May 5, 2016, and the changes to the Access to Information Act that came into force on June 21, 2019, the OCL waives all fees prescribed by the Act and Regulations. No fees are imposed for reviewing records, overhead or shipping costs.

The OCL incurred total expenditure of approximately $25,000 for the application of the ATIA in 2021-22. This amount was allotted to staff salary.

Information holdings

In accordance with the Access to Information Act, the information gathered by the OCL is used only for the purposes for which it was obtained.

The OCL is responsible for providing a full accounting of information holdings to the Treasury Board Secretariat and ensuring that updates are provided for inclusion in the Canada.ca publication. This publication contains a description of the classes of institutional records held by the OCL, and can be obtained through public or academic libraries or it may be viewed online on the Treasury Board Secretariat’s website at Canada.ca.

Implemented policies, guidelines, procedures and initiatives

During the reporting period, the OCL did not implement new policies, guidelines, procedures or initiatives related to the Access to Information Act.

OCL website

The OCL’s website available at lobbycanada.gc.ca allows members of the public to access and search the Registry of Lobbyists, as well as obtaining copies of reports such as the OCL’s annual reports on Access to Information and Privacy. Summaries of completed requests are available on the OCL website and on Canada’s Open Data Portal.

Reading room

A reading room is available at the OCL’s office. Our office is located on the 8th Floor at 410 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1R 1B7, Canada.

Education and training activities

In 2021-22, the OCL did not provide education and training activities on access to information to its staff.

Complaints

The OCL did not receive any notice of investigation from the Information Commissioner's office in 2021-22.

In 2021-22, one active complaint was outstanding from a previous reporting period. This complaint was received in the year 2019-20 and was resolved at the beginning of year 2022-23.

Application to the Federal Court

There were no applications filed during 2021-22 related to the ATIA.

Time to process access to information request monitoring

Given the small number of requests received and processed by the OCL, no formal monitoring system was required during the reporting period.
