Req # A-2022-00051/CH

I would like to receive the following information: A full version of the guidance document Exemption from disclosure: personal information. The document published on the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) website is missing some text from one page to the next (ex. page 3 to 4, page 5 to 6, page 6 to 7, page 8 to 9, etc.); The statistics on complaints registered by the OIC in 2021-22 broken down by federal institution. I cannot find the breakdown of complaints registered by the OIC about the refusal of access to information by federal department or institution, in the annual report. This segmentation would allow readers of the annual report to have a better understanding of the state of play, rather than only an overview.
