The Ombudsman investigated the closed sessions of a meeting of council for the Regional Municipality of Niagara on December 7, 2017. The resolution passed by council to proceed in camera failed to provide a general description of the matter to be considered in closed session. While the minutes indicated that resolution was passed to close the meeting to discuss matters subject to solicitor-client privilege, the video recording of the meeting showed that no reference was made in the resolution to either the general nature of the subject to be discussed, or even to the exception relied upon. The Region’s argument that the subject to be discussed was apparent based on discussions preceding the closure does not satisfy the legal requirement in the Municipal Act, 2001 to include the subject in the resolution itself.
