REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on
January 27, 2016).
GAUTHIER J.A.
[1]
Mr. Safwan Albatal appeals a judgment of Justice
Elizabeth Heneghan of the Federal Court dismissing his application for judicial
review of the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration’s response to his request
pursuant to the Access to Information Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. A-1).
[2]
The judge ruled that the matter before her was
moot as the Minister had provided all records in his possession and
control relating to Mr. Albatal’s request. She noted that Mr. Albatal’s
suspicions about the existence of other records was not a ground to order the
Minister to do anything more.
[3]
Having heard and considered Mr. Albatal’s
arguments, we can detect no basis on which we could intervene. This appeal will
thus be dismissed with costs.
