Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. What to Expect During a Review With the IPC. Updated September 2024. 6 Preliminary Objections 10. If a public body/trustee believes the Commissioner does not have jurisdiction to deal with a request for review, it should advise the Analyst in writing as soon as possible after receiving the notice. The public body/trustee needs to indicate how it concluded the Commissioner does not have jurisdiction, citing applicable legislation and providing arguments. 11. If the public body/trustee believes the Commissioner should discontinue a review pursuant to section 50 of FOIP, section 39 of LA FOIP or section 43 of HIPA, it should advise the Analyst as soon as possible after receiving the notice and provide its argument and evidence to support its position. If such an objection has been newly raised (i.e., the applicant is not aware), the Analyst will share these objections with the applicant. The Analyst may ask the public body’s/trustee’s permission to share the public body’s/trustee’s summary of objections with the applicant or the Analyst may provide their own summary of the objections to the applicant. The Analyst will not share a public body’s or trustee’s written submission or summary without the public body’s/trustee’s permission, but the Analyst is required to advise applicants of newly raised objections so that applicants may provide their own submission or rebuttal. IV. Review and Analysis 1. Typically, the IPC requests that a public body or trustee provide records and an index of records within 30 days and its submission within 60 days from the day the notice is provided. Note that submissions for procedural reviews, or reviews that don’t include records, (e.g., a review of search efforts, failure to provide a response within the legislated timeline) are due in 30 days. Once the IO assigns a file to an Analyst, the Analyst becomes responsible for ensuring the public body/trustee provides what is required (submission, materials, etc.) within the given timeframes. If the public body/trustee does not provide what is requested within these timeframes, the Analyst will follow up by making a request for the records/index and/or submission. The Analyst may provide an extension if it is warranted or may need to consult with the DoC/EDoC/DC or Commissioner on an appropriate extension. If a public body or trustee requests an extension, they should let the Analyst know at the time the request is made.
