ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Appeal, cross‑appeal from Federal Court decision ([2007] 3 F.C.R. 125) allowing Information Commissioner of Canada’s application for judicial review, ordering Minister of Environment Canada to disclose those portions of records not subject to Access to Information Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. A‑1, s. 21 discretionary exemptions, returning remaining portions to Minister for redetermination—Appeal dismissed as questions moot (Minister having disclosed portions at issue in main appeal)—Cross‑appeal allowed—Act, s. 49 allowing Court to order disclosure rather than sending matter back for redetermination—Trial Judge not giving sufficient weight to relevant considerations—Disclosure of remaining portions warranted herein—Pelletier J.A. concurring in result.
