'''Question'''
'''Should information that is being proactively published be redrafted or edited with a view to being more transparent instead of redacting so that sensitive information is no longer included?'''

Documents should not be redrafted or edited for the purposes of proactive publication under Part 2 of the ''Access to Information Act.'' Instead, redactions should be applied as appropriate pursuant to sections 80 and 90 of the Act.
It’s important to keep in mind that materials that are proactively published by institutions subject to Part 1 of the ''Access to Information Act'' may be requested under the request-based system, so requesters will be able to compare the version provided through the request-based system and the version that is proactively published.
The Information Commissioner has oversight of the documents provided in response to an access to information request.
