2023-2024 Annual Report on the administration of the Access to Information Act

1. INTRODUCTION

The Access to Information Act (the “Act”) gives Canadian citizens as well as individuals and corporations present in Canada the right to access records under the control of federal government institutions, subject to limited and specific exceptions. The Act is intended to complement existing procedures for access to government information and not to limit in any way information that is normally available to the public.

Section 94 of the Act requires the head of every government institution to prepare a report on the administration of this Act within the institution during the period beginning on April 1 of the preceding year and ending on March 31 of the current year.

This report, prepared and tabled in Parliament pursuant to section 20 of the Service Fees Act and section 94 of the Act, describes how the National Film Board of Canada (the “NFB”) administered the Act in fiscal year 2023–2024.

The NFB’s mandate is to create relevant and innovative audiovisual content that interprets Canada and its diversity to Canadians and people around the world. The NFB works with filmmakers and artists from every region of Canada to produce exceptional documentaries, animated films and interactive/immersive works rooted in Canadian experiences and realities. The NFB has long been a champion of technological and film innovation, both nationally and internationally. The NFB seeks to reflect the perspectives and experiences of communities that are systematically underrepresented in the media and to develop innovative new storytelling forms and approaches.

2. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

In accordance with section 95 of the Act, the Minister of Canadian Heritage appoints the following individuals to administer the Access to Information Act:

The NFB has no official entity tasked with processing access to information requests. The requests are forwarded to the Access to Information Coordinator, who is part of the Business Affairs and Legal Services department.

The Access to Information Coordinator is also responsible for coordination pursuant to the Privacy Act. There are no other ATIP (Access to Information and Privacy) officers at the NFB.

The NFB was not party to any service agreement under section 96 of the Act during the period covered by this report.

The NFB ensures proactive publication through the dedicated efforts of our Finance and Administration Services. This team diligently identifies and compiles relevant contract and expense information for publication. Additionally, they are responsible for reporting the expenses prescribed by the Financial Administration Act.

The NFB uses the following approaches to meet its proactive publication requirements: a document-management system (to organize and categorize documents for proactive publication, such as contracts); a publication schedule; a section of our institutional website dedicated to documents for the public to find and access; and lastly, regular monitoring by the head of financial operations to ensure adherence to legislated timelines and quality standards.

Regular verification processes are conducted to assess the compliance of the methods and information with relevant legislation and directives.

3. DELEGATION ORDER

A copy of the Delegation Order is attached as Appendix A.

4. 2023–2024 PERFORMANCE

The 2023–2024 Statistical Report on the Access to Information Act and the Supplemental ATIP Statistical Report for 2023–2024 are attached as Appendix B.

Percentage of requests responded to within legislated timelines

From April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, the NFB responded to 5 requests, and all of them were fully processed within the deadlines prescribed by the Act (100%).

Completion times and extensions

The 5 requests that were fully processed by the NFB in 2023–2024 were completed within the following timeframes:

The original time limit for responding to the requests would have unreasonably disrupted the operations of the NFB. Given the complexity and volume of information requested, meeting the initial deadline would have hindered our ability to ensure a thorough and accurate response. The extensions were also necessary to conduct internal consultations. These consultations involve various departments who possess the relevant knowledge required to review and process the requested information appropriately.

Number of active requests that are outstanding from previous reporting periods

There are no active requests outstanding from previous reporting periods.

Number of active complaints that are outstanding from previous reporting periods

There are no complaints that are outstanding from previous reporting periods.

Consultations

In 2023–2024, the NFB processed 3 consultation requests. All 3 consultation requests were completed within 30 days. These requests originated from other federal institutions.

Release of records

In 2023–2024, the NFB released the records as follows:

5. TRAINING AND AWARENESS

During this reporting period, the ATIP Coordinator maintained regular communication with Finance and Administration Services to assess proactive publication practices. Additionally, the ATIP Coordinator diligently monitored the completion by newly hired employees of the mandatory training course “Access to Information and Privacy Fundamentals” (COR502), from the Canada School of Public Service.

6. POLICIES, GUIDELINES, PROCEDURES AND INITIATIVES

In this reporting period, no new organizational policies or procedures relating to the administration of the Act were implemented at the NFB.

7. PROACTIVE PUBLICATION UNDER PART 2 OF THE ACT

The NFB is a government entity as listed in Schedule I of the Act and Schedule I.1 Column 1 of the Financial Administration Act for the purposes of Part 2 of the Act.

The following Table lists the sections of Part 2 of the Access to Information Act that the NFB is responsible for:

Legislative Requirement Section Publication Timeline Compliance Rate Proactive Publication (web link)

Q4: Within 60 days after the quarter
100% Search Government Contracts over $10,000 (canada.ca)

8. INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Collaborating closely with the head of the archives department, the ATIP Coordinator identified areas for improvement in information provision and explored innovative approaches to enhance the public’s access to archival documents. The resulting procedural changes may account for the reduction in formal information requests.

Furthermore, our web development and digital platform services took proactive measures to overhaul the NFB’s websites, aiming to enhance the user experience for individuals searching for historical documents.

The ATIP Coordinator uses the ATIP Online platform for the purpose of receiving and addressing inquiries.

In conclusion, it is also noteworthy that NFB employees have undergone training in Indigenous reconciliation, which has instilled in them a heightened sensitivity towards facilitating services for Indigenous requesters.

9. SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES AND ACTIONS TAKEN ON COMPLAINTS

No complaints were filed against the NFB during the 2023–2024 year. 

10. MONITORING COMPLIANCE

The ATIP Coordinator monitors the processing time of access to information requests, analyzing each file to determine the reasonableness of the allocated time, considering the nature of the request and the NFB’s ongoing operations.

The ATIP Coordinator demonstrates attentiveness towards outstanding requests form previous reporting periods. In instances where the legislated timelines were surpassed due to lack of response from another institution, appropriate measures are implemented to conclude the waiting period and progress with the requests in accordance with established procedures.

The ATIP Coordinator identified a demand for access to historical documents. In response, a dedicated working group was established in collaboration with the head of the archives department. This initiative aims to enhance public accessibility to archival materials, thereby mitigating the volume of access to information requests.

To ensure compliance and streamline procedures, the head of operations for Finance and Administration Services oversees the proactive publication of contracts and expenses and maintains regular communication with the ATIP Coordinator. This ongoing collaboration ensures that protocols align with regulatory requirements and undergo periodic reviews for optimization.
