Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guide to LA FOIP, Chapter 6, Protection of Privacy. Updated 27 February 2023. 251 (2) A head may refuse to disclose to an individual personal information that is evaluative or opinion material compiled solely for the purpose of determining the individual’s suitability, eligibility or qualifications for employment or for the awarding of government contracts and other benefits by the local authority, where the information is provided explicitly or implicitly in confidence.

This section can also be found in the Guide to LA FOIP, Chapter 3: “Access to Information” and Chapter 4: “Exemptions to the Right of Access”. It is reproduced here for ease of access and because it falls under Part IV of LA FOIP which deals with “personal information”.
