Scope and content
The series consists of ministry copies of freedom of information requests, or privacy complaints, which were investigated by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC). All files were created by the Information and Privacy office for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (1996-1998) and Ministry of Municipal Affairs (1998-1999).
The files consist of a copy of the original application for records, correspondence between staff and the applicant, correspondence between the ministry and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC), submissions to the OIPC, correspondence with the Legal Services Branch, and a copy of the OIPC order. Some files also include photocopies of pages requested by the applicant.
The files in this series were classified as 290-20 in the BC Government Administrative Records Classification System (ARCS). Ministry staff also assigned an additional number that consisted of the year of the investigation followed by a sequential number.
