Summary

The Tribunal manages a high volume of records, both related to its internal operations and business process. Records are both physical and electronic. The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) enables the public to request and obtain copies of records held by the Tribunal when those records are not routinely available.
