Submit a complaint
Due to scheduled network maintenance on September 27 and 28, confirmation emails related to the online complaint form may be delayed.
Please note that this will not affect the receipt or processing of your complaint. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
The Access to Information Act gives a right to access information under the control of government institutions. The Act also provides a right to complain to the Information Commissioner about matters related to an access request made under the Act, such as the following:
- the institution’s response to the request
- the fact that the institution did not respond to the request
- how an institution treated the request.
Individuals may also complain about other matters related to requesting and accessing records under Part 1 of the Act, even if they did not make an access request.
In all instances, complainants may authorize someone else to submit a complaint(s) on their behalf.
