Can a record be withheld in its entirety if a portion of the record can be released?
No. Under the Access to Information Act, there is a “severability” rule that exists. This means that a records cannot be withheld in its entirety if a portion of the information can be released. Departments are obligated to disclose as much information as can reasonably be severed from the record. As such, all relevant records must be reviewed on a line-by-line basis.
