Introduction
The Access to Information Act (the Act) gives Canadian citizens, as well as people and corporations in Canada, the right to have access to records under the control of federal institutions that are not of a personal nature. This right of access is consistent with the principles that government information should be available to the public, necessary exceptions to the rights of access should be limited and specific, and decisions on the disclosure of government information should be reviewed independently of government.
Section 94(1) of the Act requires that the head of every government institution prepare, for submission to Parliament, an annual report on the administration of the Actwithin the institution during each financial year. For the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), the President has been designated as the head of the institution by Order in Council. Tabling of the report "shall be laid before each House of Parliament within three months after the financial year in respect of which it is made or, if the House is not then sitting, on any of the first fifteen days next thereafter that it is sitting."
This Annual Report describes how FedDev Ontario, in its eleventh year of operation, administered its responsibilities under the Act.
About the Organization
Raison d'être
FedDev Ontario was created in 2009 to work with communities, businesses, not-for-profit organizations and other levels of government in southern Ontario, to actively promote the region, and to build a strong foundation of investment and partnerships to help secure the region's economic growth and long-term prosperity.
Budget 2019 provided FedDev Ontario with permanent funding, enabling the Agency to be a reliable, long-term and trusted partner to southern Ontario communities, businesses and entrepreneurs. FedDev Ontario will continue to support the delivery of the Government's priorities in ways that are responsive to the unique challenges and opportunities that exist across southern Ontario. In 2020–21, the Agency will continue to leverage its role as a convenor and champion for the region.
Responsibilities
Through its suite of programs and activities, FedDev Ontario works to strengthen economic capacity for innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration; and to promote the development of a strong and diversified southern Ontario economy.
Scope of operations
FedDev Ontario is headquartered in Waterloo and has regional offices in Ottawa, Peterborough and Toronto. Its mandate covers southern Ontario, which includes 37 Statistics Canada census divisions.
FedDev Ontario is part of the Innovation, Science and Economic Development portfolio. Its President oversees Agency operations and resources and reports to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.
Structure of the Access to Information and Privacy Office
Responsibility for processing requests received under the Access to Information Act rests with the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Coordinator. The ATIP Coordinator oversees the administration of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act (the Acts) within FedDev Ontario and ensures compliance with the legislation. The ATIP office structure also includes a Parliamentary Liaison and ATIP Officer.
The ATIP Coordinator is responsible for all daily ATIP activities and operations, as well as the development, coordination and implementation of effective policies, guidelines and procedures necessary to manage the Agency's compliance with the Acts. The ATIP office, which is located in Ottawa's regional office, responds to all formal requests submitted under the applicable Act.
The administration of both Acts at FedDev Ontario is also facilitated at the branch and regional office levels. Each organizational branch has a liaison officer who coordinates activities on the administrative processes and procedures of these Acts.
Delegation of Authority
The current ATIP Delegation Order was approved by the President (the head of the institution) on May 3, 2018. It provides full delegated authority to the ATIP Coordinator and to the Corporate Secretary. A copy of the ATIP Delegation Order is attached in Annex B.
Analysis of the Statistical Report
During the reporting period, FedDev Ontario received 40 Access to Information (ATI)requests, an increase of 48 percent compared to the previous reporting period, and carried forward three requests from 2018–19. This represents a total ATI workload of 43 files. The increase for this reporting period can be attributed to new requirements under the Access to Information Act for proactive disclosure of certain information. During the reporting period, the proactive disclosures required by section 88(b) were recorded as new requests under the Access to Information Act; however, this practice has been discontinued for future reporting periods. Discounting those requests, the number of ATI requests received by the Agency has held steady.

Sources of requests
The breakdown of the 40 new requests received by type of user is as follows:
| Media |

|---|---|
| Academia |
0 |
| Business (private sector) |

| Organization |
1 |
| Public |

| Decline to identify |

Of the new requests received, 16, or 40 percent, related to grants or contributions; 14, or 35 percent, concerned the Agency's internal activities; and 10, or 25 percent, related to other matters. Media interest increased by 300 percent.
Disposition and completion time
During the 2019–20 reporting period, 35 requests were completed and eight requests were carried forward to financial year 2020–21. A detailed statistical report on Access to Information requests is attached in Annex C.
The 35 completed requests were disposed of as follows: four requests were fully disclosed, 18 requesters were granted partial disclosure, one request was fully exempted, seven requests had no existing records, no requests were transferred and one request was abandoned by the requester. No requests were excluded in full.
Twenty-eight requests held responsive records to Access to Information requests. For those requests, FedDev Ontario processed 1,730 pages, an increase of 17 percent from the previous reporting period and disclosed 1566 pages, an increase of 81 percent.
Of the 35 completed requests, the Agency responded to 20 requests within the 30-day completion range, six within the 31-60 day range, seven within the 61-120 day range, one within the 181-365 days completion range and one in more than 365 days.
Three requests closed past the legislated deadlines. This represents an on-time completion rate of 91.4 percent (8.6 percent Deemed Refusal).
During the reporting period, extensions were required under the Act 12 times under subsection 9(1)(a) for volume/search time/interference with operations, six times under subsection 9(1)(b) for consultations and three times under section 9(1)(c) for third-party notice.
It is important to note the fact that the number of extensions does not necessarily equate to the number of files for which extensions were taken. This is because any given file could require extensions for more than one reason (for example, for volume/interference with operations and for consultation with a third party; the statistical table would reflect this as two separate extensions).
Exemptions and Exclusions
As noted in Annex C, exemptions were taken during the reporting period under sections 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21. Exclusions pursuant to section 69 of the Act were taken.
Additional Information
The Agency received 35 new access consultation requests from other government institutions, an increase of 233 percent from the previous reporting period. This increase can partially be attributed to new requirements under the Access to Information Act for proactive disclosure of certain information.
Graph 2 Access Consultations received and closed by year
Overall, the Agency completed a total of 70 requests related to the Access to Information Act (35 access requests and 35 access consultation requests), an increase of 59 percent from the previous reporting period.
Education and Training
During the 2019–20 fiscal year, the ATIP Coordinator travelled to the Waterloo, Peterborough and Toronto offices to provide ATIP training for FedDev Ontario employees. A total of 96 employees, or 33 percent of Agency staff, participated.
All FedDev Ontario employees are required to take the Canada School of Public Service course on Access to Information and Privacy Fundamentals. Between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020, 50 people completed the course.
Throughout the reporting period, the ATIP Coordinator provided ongoing advice and coaching to employees on access to information related matters as required.
Guidelines and procedures are provided to staff as part of the tasking documentation when they are tasked to respond to an access to information request.
Institutional Policies and Procedures
The ATIP office determines and implements best practices on an ongoing basis as topics arise.
The ATIP office actively encourages open communication with its Liaison Officers and Offices of Primary Interest (OPIs).
Complaints, Investigations and Court Action
There were no complaints received from the Office of the Information Commissioner pursuant to Section 32 during the reporting period concerning the administration of the Act. There were no investigations or court action during this period.
Monitoring Compliance
The ATIP office monitors a number of metrics for Access to Information requests. Response rates from OPIs are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that responses are within allowable periods.
A weekly report is provided to the President via the Operations Committee listing the number of active requests (including access consultations and privacy requests), the number of new requests received, the status of each request and the estimated release date for each.
Ad hoc reporting takes place as required. The Corporate Secretary, Vice- Presidents, Director Generals or the Office of the President are notified as appropriate.
