Does the FOIP Act apply to records which, are at the residences of former settlement council members?
• These records should not be treated any differently than records of current settlement council members. See questions 3 through 8 above. • Metis settlements have control over records relating to the business of the settlement, even if they are at the home of a former settlement council member. Thus, these records are still subject to the FOIP Act. • Metis settlements may want to institute a policy that requires settlement council member to turn over to council any records related to council business that they may have at the end of their terms.
