Access to information
As a public entity subject to the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information (CQLR, c. A-2.1), the Town is bound to fulfill its obligations regarding the management of documents and all information in its possession.
As a general rule, documents held by the Town are considered public and can be accessed by anyone. Documents can be consulted on the spot at Town Hall during business hours. You must however expect some delay for the document to be located.
Access to information request can be made by sending an email to greffe@baie-durfe.qc.ca while attaching the Access to information online form. A copy of a document can also be requested, subject to payment of applicable fees.
It is important to note that the right of access is not absolute and a request may be denied for different reasons. One of these reasons stems from the second division of the above-mentioned Act, which is the need to protect personal information. It is therefore necessary to get a person's or property owner's prior consent before the Town can agree to give you access to their files. In the latter case, please fill out the proxy in order to obtain the concerned individual’s consent.
Should a written request for information be denied, the applicant can chose to contact the Commission d'accès à l'information to ask for a revision of the Town's decision.
Access to document request is free. However, a public body may charge a fee not exceeding the cost of photocopying or transmitting the document. The person in charge will inform you before proceeding.
