Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guide to LA FOIP, Chapter 4, Exemptions from the Right of Access. Updated 24 July 2025. 16 whom the information relates pursuant to the third party notification requirements outlined at subsection 33(1)(b) of LA FOIP. IPC Findings The Commissioner considered subsection 28(2)(n) of LA FOIP in Investigation Report 0922015 to 095-2015. The investigation involved the collection and disclosure of a care aide’s personal information. The Commissioner found that there was a public interest in the release of the information and that the public interest outweighed any invasion of privacy. Subsection 13: Records From Other Governments Records from other governments 13(1) A head shall refuse to give access to information contained in a record that was obtained in confidence, implicitly or explicitly, from: (a) the Government of Canada or its agencies, Crown corporations or other institutions; (b) the Government of Saskatchewan or a government institution; (c) the government of another province or territory of Canada, or its agencies, Crown corporations or other institutions; (d) the government of a foreign jurisdiction or its institutions; or (e) an international organization of states or its institutions; unless the government or institution from which the information was obtained consents to the disclosure or makes the information public. (2) A head may refuse to give access to information contained in a record that was obtained in confidence, implicitly or explicitly, from another local authority or a similar body in another province or territory of Canada. Subsection 13(1) of LA FOIP is a mandatory class-based provision. It mandates refusal of access to information in records received in confidence both formally and informally from other governments including its agencies or institutions. When considering this provision, local authorities should determine whether there is consent to release the information or if the information has been made public by the organization to which the information was obtained.
