The complainant alleged that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) had improperly withheld information under subsection 24(1) (disclosure restricted by another law) of the Access to Information Act in response to an access request. The request was for the complainant’s own deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) profile generated from a biological sample provided to the RCMP. The allegation falls within paragraph 30(1)(a) of the Act. The RCMP showed that it met all of the requirements of this exemption. Specifically, section 6.6 of the DNA Identification Act prohibits the disclosure of the requested information.

The complaint is not well founded.
