Updated 27 February 2023. 145 Result means a consequence, effect, or outcome.406 Inaccurate information is incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information, or information which does not reflect the truth.407 Defeat the purpose means it prevents the purpose from being achieved; to thwart or frustrate.408 Prejudice the use in this context refers to detriment to the ability of the local authority to use the personal information for the purpose it was collected.409 Local authorities should use this provision in limited circumstances within programs, and the local authority should maintain documentation of when the provision has been used and the reasons for using it.410 IPC Findings In Investigation Report F-2009-001, the Commissioner investigated a complaint involving the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB). An individual had concerns about the way WCB collected, used and disclosed his personal information. As part of the investigation, the Commissioner considered WCB’s collection of the complainant’s personal information indirectly from the Sergeant-at-Arms with the Legislative Assembly Services. The Commissioner found that subsection 26(3) of The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act authorized the WCB to collect the complainant’s personal information indirectly under this provision – equivalent provision to subsection 25(3) of LA FOIP. 406 Pearsall, Judy, Concise Oxford Dictionary, 10th Ed., (Oxford University Press) at p. 1221. 407 Service Alberta, FOIP Guidelines and Practices: 2009 Edition, Chapter 7, p 250. 408 Pearsall, Judy, Concise Oxford Dictionary, 10th Ed., (Oxford University Press) at p. 375. 409 Adapted from Service Alberta, FOIP Guidelines and Practices: 2009 Edition, Chapter 4 at p. 149.
