The Ombudsman reviewed a joint meeting held by the councils for the Town of Grimsby, the Town of Lincoln, and the Township of West Lincoln. During the closed session, a written statement by the local member of provincial parliament was read out loud. The Ombudsman found that the statement was not explicitly marked as confidential when it was provided to the municipalities before the meeting and did not represent an official position of the provincial government. Accordingly, the discussion did not fit within the exception for information supplied in confidence by another level of government.
