The complainant alleged that Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) had improperly excluded information pursuant to paragraph 68(a) (material available for purchase) of the Access to Information Act. This was in response to an access request for real-time and archived weather radar data. The complaint falls within paragraph 30(1)(a) of the Act.
ECCC showed that the information was available for purchase through a cost-recovery system. As a result, the Act does not apply.
The complaint is not well founded.
