Access to Information Act - Annual report 2023-24

Table of Contents

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 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

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 federal lobbying regime sets requirements and standards for the transparent and ethical lobbying of federal officials. The Commissioner of Lobbying with the support of the Office administers the Lobbying Act and the Lobbyists’ Code of Conduct.

Our primary responsibilities include:

  • maintaining and enhancing the Registry of Lobbyists
  • expanding awareness and understanding of the lobbying regime and compliance obligations through education
  • conducting compliance work that supports respect of federal lobbying requirements

The Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying is a micro-organization of 37 full-time equivalents (FTEs) that supports the Commissioner in achieving her mandate.

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, the ATIP coordinator and the Manager of Corporate Services.

The Executive Director of Corporate Services was the ATIP Coordinator from April 1st, 2023, to March 31, 2024. 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 ATIP Coordinator is also responsible for conducting consultations with other federal organizations and other governments within Canada as required. Additionally, the ATIP Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the OCL proactive disclosures are published within the prescribed timeframe. 

The Manager of Corporate Services provides support to the ATIP Coordinator for the process of any requests received and for ensuring that the OCL proactive disclosures are published in a timely manner. 

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 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. 

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 completed investigation reports must be tabled in both Houses of Parliament. They are published on the OCL website and disclosed on Canada's Open Government portal.

Administration of the Access to Information Act

Performance 2023-24

Annex B provides a statistical summary of requests under the Access to Information Act (ATIA) received during fiscal year 2023-24.

In 2023-24, the OCL received 11 requests under the ATIA: four were formal requests and seven were informal requests.

All the requests that were processed informally were requests for information that was previously released under the ATIA. All these requests were processed in less than 15 days. 

The formal requests received pertained to the following subjects: 

  • The OCL updated Lobbyists’ Code of Conduct (one request)
  • Information on lobbying activities made towards  federal departments that the OCL does not collect (three requests)

Of the four formal requests received in 2023-24: 

  • Two were closed within legislated timelines in less than 15 days.
  • One was closed beyond legislated timelines in 61 to 120 days. This request was received through the ATIP Online Management Tool. The OCL normally receives a notice when a request is submitted through this platform. Unfortunately, in this case, the OCL never received the notice. By the time the OCL realized that a request was submitted, the legislated timeline was already passed. The OCL put in place a mitigation measure to ensure that this situation does not reoccur.
  • One was carried over to the next reporting period but closed within legislated timelines. 

For the two requests closed within legislated timelines during the reporting period of this report, the OCL found no records responding to the requests. The request that was closed beyond the legislated timelines was disclosed in part. 

Table 1. Statistics for the disposition of records
Disposition Number of formal requests received Representation percentage
Disclosed in part 1 25%
No records exist 2 50%
Carried-over to the next reporting period 1 25%
Total 4 100%

Extensions

No extension requests were required during the reporting period. 

Requests outstanding from previous reporting periods 

At the beginning of 2023-24, the OCL had no outstanding request from previous reporting periods. 

Consultation from other institutions

In 2023-24, the OCL received 3 consultations from other federal institutions. All these consultations were completed in less than 15 days. A total of 5 pages were reviewed. For all of these requests, we recommended that the information be completely disclosed.

Training and Awareness

In 2023-24, the OCL did not provide any education or training activities specific to access to information to its staff. However, OCL staff is required to complete mandatory trainings on information management. 

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. 

Proactive Publication

As set out in Part 2 of the Access to Information Act, the OCL, as a government institution, is required to proactively disclose the following information:

  • Travel expenses
  • Hospitality expenses
  • Reports tabled in Parliament
  • Reclassification of positions
  • Contracts over $10,000
  • Briefing materials 

Table 2 indicates the prescribed publication timelines associated with each type of proactive publication required for the OCL.

In addition to information that is required to be proactively disclosed as set out in the AIA, the OCL also publishes summaries of completed access to information requests. 

Table 2. Proactive Publication Requirements
Legislative Requirement Section of the ATIA Publication Timeline
Travel Expenses 82 Within 30 days after the end of the month of reimbursement
Hospitality Expenses 83 Within 30 days after the end of the month of reimbursement
Reports tabled in Parliament 84 Within 30 days after tabling
Reclassification of positions 85 Within 30 days after the quarter
Contracts over $10,000 86 Q1-3: Within 30 days after the quarter
Q4: Within 60 days after the quarter
Packages of briefing materials prepared for new or incoming deputy heads or equivalent 88(a) Within 120 days after appointment
Titles and reference numbers of memoranda prepared for a deputy head or equivalent, that is received by their office 88(b) Within 30 days after the end of the month received
Packages of briefing materials prepared for a deputy head or equivalent’s appearance before a committee of Parliament 88(c) Within 120 days after appearance

The OCL proactive publications are posted on the Open Government portal at open.canada.ca and on the proactive disclosure page on the OCL Website.

For the fiscal year 2023-24, all proactive publications for the OCL have been published within legislated timelines.

Initiatives and Projects to Improve Access to Information

The OCL is a micro-organization of 37 full time equivalents (FTE) with very limited resources. For that reason and the fact that the OCL receives few requests for information, the Office did not allocate resources to put in place initiatives and projects to improve Access to Information. 

Complaints

The OCL did not receive any notice of investigation from the Information Commissioner's office during the reporting period. 

Application to the Federal Court

There were no applications filed during 2023-24 related to the ATIA.

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. However, on July 12, 2019, the OCL took the decision to dispense the $5 fees for the processing of requests pursuant to paragraph 7(1)(a) of the Access to Information Regulations. Consequently, the $5 fees for the four formal requests received during the year 2023-24 were dispensed, for a total of $20.

In accordance with the Directive on Access to Information Request, issued on July 13, 2022, 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 2023-24. This amount was allotted to staff salary.

Monitoring compliance

Given the small number of requests received and processed by the OCL, no compliance monitoring was conducted during the reporting period.

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.
