The Globe collected this data through individual freedom of information requests sent to each department and ministry. The requests sought data from each institution’s internal FOI tracking system. The field entitled “percentage of requests granted with some access,” represents FOI requests that received both full access and partial access. The numbers included in this audit are what was provided to The Globe and may not represent all FOIs sent to each institution. (For example, some institutions may have not included personal records requests.) Also, during the requested time period, some ministries may have changed their names or merged with other ministries. Finally, “N/A” indicates that the data provided by the ministry or department did not include enough information for the The Globe to calculate the figure. A handful of institutions did not respond in time. All ministries within Alberta refused The Globe’s FOI requests.
