Report private and confidential

After Steve Winter’s dismissal, a CBC news report on Jan. 11 referenced an investigation by the Office of the Citizens’ Representative involving a complaint of nepotism in contracting at the NLC. The investigation, according to CBC reporter Fred Hutton, found Winter did nothing wrong, but also prompted a consideration of policy relevant to government agencies, boards and commissions.

The Telegram was unable to obtain a copy of the report from the investigation through the Office of the Citizens’ Representative or the Department of Finance. A response to an access to information request stated its disclosure would amount to unreasonable invasion of personal privacy.
