Requests for access to information

Requests for access to information must be made in writing and transmitted to the Director General. The request must specify the exact document or information requested.

By virtue of the Loi d’accès à l’information, no personal information concerning any proprietor or citizen may be divulged, without the consent of the persons who are the object of such a request.

Professionals (mortgagees, notaries, etc.) may obtain the balance of taxes to be paid for a given property by subscribing to AccèsCité/CityAccess (see Online Services).

In the case of a complaint, the identification and contact details of a complainant remain confidential and no information allowing them to be identified will be revealed.

The Municipality has 20 working days to respond to a request for information.

Notice of review

Article 135 of the Loi d’accès à l’information stipulates that a person may, whenever a written request has been refused in part or in total by the person responsible for providing access to documents, or the protection of personal information, or in a case where the specified deadline for an answer has expired, ask the Commission d’accès à l’information to review this decision.

Such a request must be made in writing;  it should briefly outline the reasons for which the decision should be reviewed (Article 137).

The reasons related to a review may concern the decision itself, the time delay in treating the request, the method of accessing a document or piece of information, the fees payable, or the application of Article 9 (personal notes entered on a document, sketches, drafts, outlines, preparatory notes or other documents of a similar nature which are not considered as being documents belonging to a public organization).

It is possible to appeal the decision of the Commission before the Cour du Québec.  For more information concerning conditions and deadlines, please visit: Commission d’accès à l’information.
