I am familiar with this case.
First, I'll say the salary ranges for the governor and senior deputy governor are public. In this particular case, they were looking for specific salary details. Given the fact that these are private, we refused to submit those exact details. In the first complaint that was raised, this was supported by the Privacy Commissioner.
It was then raised again, separately, by another Canadian. In that case, we worked with the commissioner. There were certain parts of the question that we disclosed that we didn't disclose the first time. Specifically, they were questions around per diems, overtime, bilingual bonuses and vacation pay. The commissioner ultimately agreed that the remaining information constitutes personal information.
Our legal team is in the process of preparing our application, and we expect that this will go to court in the fall.
