Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. What to Expect During a Review With the IPC. Updated September 2024. 8 • Deputy Minister of Justice, Ministry of Justice and Attorney General and Executive Director, Audit and Information Management, Ministry of Justice and Attorney General • To third parties, as applicable • Any other individual the Commissioner identifies, or as per the IPC’s Rules of Procedure 2. The IPC usually publishes final review reports on IPC’s website home page under New Reports and on the Reports section 7 calendar days after issuing the final review report. Depending on the circumstances of the review, the Commissioner may post a final report to IPC’s website earlier than this, or on the same day it is issued. Note that the date on the review report is the date that the Commissioner has issued the report and it is not subject to change. 3. Public bodies and trustees must respond in writing to final reports within 30 calendar days to the IPC and the applicant. This is 30 calendar days from the date on the review report. The IPC may send one reminder to a public body or trustee of their obligation to provide its response before the 30 days elapses as a courtesy, but public bodies/trustees are responsible for ensuring that they keep track of their obligations with respect to timelines and responses. 4. Six months after issuing a final report, the IPC deletes copies of records provided by the public body or the trustee unless an appeal is pending. In the event of an appeal, the IPC deletes copies of the records after the appeal is concluded. VI. Helpful Information Preparing the Record 1. In most cases, there is no need to send the IPC records that have already been released in full to an applicant. In rare circumstances, the Analyst may require them; in that event, the Analyst will ask the public body/trustee to provide them. 2. The IPC requires a copy of records containing information that has been withheld from the applicant in full or in part (note the IPC does not share or release records provided by public bodies/trustees to applicants or any other party). When preparing the record: a. Outline or highlight (“redline”) the withheld portions of information. b. Clearly indicate next to the highlighted/redlined portions which exemptions are being applied to those portions of information (see IPC’s webinar on severing) and consider
