INFORMATION ACCESS REQUEST

Access to Information Request Form 

To make an access request, here is an excerpt of the procedure to follow. You will find the complete procedure and other information on the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec website.  | Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec (gouv.qc.ca) (English)

Your request can be sent by mail, fax or e-mail.

Right of access to documents

The right of access to documents held by public bodies is set out in the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information.

Public bodies subject to the law

Approximately 2,800 public agencies are subject to this law. These are:

– Government departments and agencies
– Municipalities and their agencies, urban communities and their agencies, regional county municipalities
school boards, subsidized private colleges, CEGEPs, universities
– Hospitals, CLSCs, local health and social services network development agencies and youth centers.

Type of documents available

The Act applies to all records held by a public body whether in written, graphic, audio, visual, computerized or other form. These records can be identified through a classification list that each agency is required to maintain.

Exceptions to the right of access

The Act contains six categories of exceptions that may limit the principle of access to certain information. These are information affecting intergovernmental relations, negotiations between public bodies, the economy, the administration of justice and public safety, administrative or policy decisions and auditing. Most of these restrictions, however, are optional.

This does not mean that the entire document will be withheld. Only information relating to these matters will be permitted to be severed from the document. Other parts of the document will remain accessible.

Public Information

Information that identifies a person other than the applicant is confidential. It will be masked before anyone else has access to a record.

Access procedure

The request for access to a document is addressed to the person responsible for access in the public body that holds the document.

The request may be made orally or in writing, but only a written request can subsequently be appealed to the CAI. The request to the Access Authority must be specific enough to identify the record. However, the head is obliged to assist any person who requests his or her help in formulating a request and identifying the document sought.

Access time

The access provider has up to 20 calendar days to respond. However, this period may be extended by 10 days, if necessary. Failure to respond will be considered a refusal.
