Guide to Submissions

Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. A Guide to Submissions. Effective Sept. 2020. Updated Dec. 2022. 12 (letter or email), in particular providing a copy of the section 7/36 decision sent by the public body/trustee. In fact, copies of all communications between the public body/trustee and the applicant assist in establishing the relevant dates. v. An applicant requests a correction of personal information pursuant to subsection 32(1)(a) and the correction is not made (subsection 49(1)(c) of FOIP, subsection 38(1)(c) of LA FOIP or subsection 42(1)(b) of HIPA). The applicant needs to provide the document where the request for correction was made and the written response of the public body/trustee refusing to make the correction. In addition, the applicant needs to: • Identify what personal information is an error or omission; • Identify what the correction should be on each record; and • Provide evidence to support the correction (e.g., documents to show correct birth date). The proposed correction cannot be a substitution of opinion. Refer to the Guide to FOIP, Guide to LA FOIP, or Guide to HIPA The Commissioner’s office has developed the Guide to FOIP (for government institutions), Guide to LA FOIP (for local authorities), and Guide to HIPA (for trustees). Before beginning to write the submission, an applicant should read relevant portions of the appropriate guide. This will give the applicant an idea on what the Commissioner will be looking for when the submission is reviewed. One does not have to agree with the tests discussed but needs to know as a starting point what the Commissioner is expecting to receive representations on. Adapt the Attached Template Appendix A, to this Guide, is a template that the applicant can use to make their submission. The applicant should adapt the template to meet the needs of the applicant. The template is intended to be a good starting point.
