The Ombudsman investigated a closed meeting held by the County of Haliburton to discuss the closure of a local hospital emergency room. The meeting was closed under the exception for matters permissible to be closed under another act. The County was unable to identify legislation that permitted council to discuss the matter in closed session. As a best practice, the Ombudsman recommended that when relying on this exception, the resolution to move into closed session include a clear reference to the legislation and provision that permits the meeting to be closed.
