  • REVIEW REPORT 18-11 December 17, 2018 Department Of
    Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for Nova Scotia Report of the Commissioner Catherine Tully REVIEW REPORT 18-11 December 17, 2018 Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Summary: Three separate applicants sought disclosure of a management fee paid by the Nova Scotia Government to Bay Ferries Limited for the operation of the ferry service between Yarmouth and Portland, Maine. In withholding the information, the Department argued that disclosure of the information would harm both the economic interests of the Department and the competitive position of Bay Ferries Limited. There is a justifiably high democratic expectation of transparency around the expenditure of public money. Expenditure of public funds goes to the heart of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act’s purposes and is an important reason behind the need for detailed and convincing evidence. The burden of proof rests with the public body. The Commissioner finds that the evidence offered falls well short of the legal standard. Instead, the evidence offered consisted of conclusionary statements of general assertions of risk. The Commissioner recommends full disclosure of the ferry service funding agreement. Statutes Considered: Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, SNS 1993, c 5, ss. 17, 21, 45. Authorities Considered: British Columbia: Orders 00-10 2000 CanLII 11042 (BC IPC); 03- 03 2003 CanLII 49167 (BC IPC); F08-22 2008 CanLII 70316 (BC IPC); Nova Scotia: Review Reports 17-02 2017 NSOIPC 2 (CanLII); 18-02 2018 NSOIPC 2 (CanLII); Ontario: Orders PO- 1894 2001 CanLII 26094 (ON IPC); MO 2179-F 2007 CanLII 11132 (ON IPC).
