1. Introduction
Purpose of the Access to Information Act
The Access to Information Act (ATIA) provides a right of access to information in records under the control of a government institution in accordance with the principles that government information should be available to the public, that necessary exceptions to the right of access should be limited and specific, and that decisions on the disclosure of government information should be reviewed independently of government.
The ATIA is intended to complement and not replace existing procedures for access to government information and is not intended to limit in any way access to the type of government information that is normally available to the general public.
The Annual Report to Parliament on the ATIA is prepared and tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 94 of the ATIA.
Military Police Complaints Commission of Canada
The Mandate
The Military Police Complaints Commission of Canada (MPCC) provides independent civilian oversight of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Military Police (MP) and carries out its quasi-judicial functions pursuant to the powers conferred under Part IV of the National Defence Act.
The MPCC reviews and investigates complaints concerning MP conduct and investigates allegations of interference in MP investigations. The MPCC reports its findings and makes recommendations directly to the MP and national defence leadership.
The Mission
The mission of the MPCC is to promote and ensure the highest standards of conduct of MP in the performance of policing duties, and to discourage interference in any MP investigation.
2. Application of the Access to Information Act
Institutional Organization of Activities
The Organization
The Military Police Complaints Commission of Canada (MPCC) is a micro-agency consisting of 29 planned full-time equivalents with an ongoing annual budget of $4.7M.
As Deputy Head, the Chairperson is supported by the Senior General Counsel and Director General, the Senior Director of Corporate Services, the General Counsel and Senior Director of Operations, up to four part-time Governor in Council (GIC) appointed Commission Members, MPCC personnel and consultants.
The MPCC did not provide services related to access to information to other government institutions and was not party to any service agreements with other government institutions under section 96 of the Access to Information Act.
MPCC Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Program
The MPCC ATIP program provides services/products under the ATIA and Privacy Act (PA), but also provides services/products during the phases of large Public Interest Hearings (PIH) and investigations. Furthermore, the MPCC continues to utilize an Access to Information Framework – Plans and Strategies encompassing documented processes and management accountability to strengthen the integrity of the ATIP program.
MPCC Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator and Personnel
The ATIP Coordinator for the MPCC is the Senior Director of Corporate Services (SDCS) who is supported by the Senior Planning and Administration Coordinator (SPAC) and the Administrative Services Officer. The MPCC also engages an ATIP consultant, as required. As such, Access to information (ATI) requests are a shared responsibility between two delegated salaried employees, an assistant who provides administrative support and the Offices of Primary Interest (i.e. Operations, Registrar, Finance, the Records and Information Management Officer, etc.) who also perform ATIP duties in addition to their regular workload.
The main activities of the individual handling ATI requests are the following:
- Handles assigned cases, analyzes purpose/history of request, interprets legislation and determines information that may be disclosed, exempted and excluded;
- Provides advice and consultation to requesters and third-party stakeholders and MPCC management and employees, responds to questions and concerns and ensures that they have a clear understanding of legislation and MPCC policies and procedures for handling requests and other ATI related issues, including document security classification;
- Conducts research and consultations with other departments and third parties to prepare responses to requesters;
- Analyzes and provides recommendations in the preparation of exhibits for disclosure during a PIH in accordance with ATIA legislation, Open Court Principles and other related policies and procedures; and
- Prepares reports for MPCC management on ATI requests, other ATI related issues, including statistical reports and the Annual Reports for submission to Parliament and Info Source.
The MPCC does not have any regional offices.
3. Delegation
Pursuant to section 95(1) of the ATIA, the Chairperson appointed the SDCS, the SPAC and the Administrative Services Officer with the duty to exercise certain powers and to perform duties and functions under the ATIA and Regulations. (Appendix A – Access to Information Act Delegation Order).
4. Access to Information Act Statistics
During this review period, the MPCC received and closed ten (10) ATI requests. Of the requests received during this review period, two (2) were received from media, four (4) were received from businesses, one (1) was received from an organization and three (3) were received from the public.
Of the ten (10) ATI requests received, five (5) requests were disclosed in part, two (2) requests were transferred to another government department and three (3) were requests for which no records existed.
The MPCC responded to all ten (10) of the ATI requests within the legislated 30‑day timeline.
As a small micro-organization, COVID‑19 related measures did not impact the MPCC’s ability to fulfil its Access to Information Act responsibilities.
For additional information, please refer to Appendix B and Appendix C.
Extensions
No extension was used under Section 9 of the ATIA due to external consultations.
Consultations from Other Institutions
The MPCC received and closed twenty-seven (27) consultations received from other government departments within a 30‑day timeframe.
Exemptions Invoked
The MPCC invoked exemptions pursuant to section 19(1) (personal information), section 21(1) (operations of government), section 23 (solicitor-client privilege) and section 69 (exclusions). The MPCC did not invoke any exemptions pursuant to section 16.31 (Investigation under the Elections Act), section 16.6 (National Security and Intelligence Committee) and section 23.1 (Patent or Trademark privilege).
Multi-Year Trends
Due to the generally small numbers of requests, it is difficult to extrapolate trends. The number of requests in 2018‑19 increased significantly from 2017‑18. In 2019‑20, the number of requests had again decreased to the 2017‑18 level. In 2020‑21, the number of requests increased slightly from the 2018‑19 level. In 2021‑22, the number of requests again decreased.

5. Training and Awareness
The MPCC learning directive requires the completion of two mandatory online courses related to access to information through the Canada School of Public Service, Access to Information and Privacy Fundamentals (I015) and Fundamentals of Information Management (I301). A training session was also held for two new part-time members in September 2021.
6. Institutional Policies and Procedures
During the reporting period, the MPCC accepted requests using the Government of Canada’s ATIP Online Request Portal that provides a centralized point of access for the public for a faster, easier and more convenient way to submit access to information or privacy requests.
The MPCC continued to use a manual Tickler system (time limit reminder) to more efficiently respond to files within legislative deadlines and a weekly review of current files. Procedures for processing Access to Information were updated and provided to staff during ATIP training sessions.
Handling of Formal Requests
The MPCC has adopted the following process to handle formal requests:
- Receive and acknowledge receipt of the ATI request;
- Create a file and register the request including capturing and updating the information in the Report on the ATIA;
- Review the request and determine next steps;
- Gather and review all documents including redacting the information if required;
- Validate and approve the release of the information; and
- Audits.
7. Complaints, Audits and Investigations
No complaints were received by the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada, no audits were conducted and no appeals concerning ATIA requests with the MPCC were filed in Federal Court during the reporting period.
8. Monitoring Compliance
All ATIP requests are monitored by the SDCS/ATIP Coordinator throughout the year and information such as the statistics and time to process ATIA requests are captured in an ATIP report. This monitoring occurs from the receipt to the closure of all ATIA requests.
On a quarterly basis, the SDCS/ATIP Coordinator submits the ATIP reports (i.e. ATIA and PA Annual Reports and Statistical Reports, Info Source, Personal Information Bank etc.), to the Executive Committee as a standing agenda item. The Executive Committee consists of the Chairperson (Deputy Head), the Senior General Counsel and Director General, the SDCS/ATIP Coordinator and the General Counsel and Senior Director of Operations. The report is tabled, discussed and approved at these quarterly meetings.
