(a) prohibits the identity of an applicant for access to information from being disclosed to a third party without the permission of the applicant; and
(b) provides that, where the head of a public body is of the opinion that a request for access to a record is too vague to enable the request to be processed at a reasonable cost, the head shall so notify the applicant within seven days after the request is received and shall make every reasonable effort to assist the applicant in making the request specific enough to be processed at a reasonable cost.
Subclause 5(1) provides that where a public body has made one or more deletions from a record that is provided to an applicant, the head of the public body shall notify the applicant of the provision of the Act on which the head relies as authority for making each deletion.
Subclause 5(2) requires the head of a public body to provide to an applicant who is given access to records an affidavit of the head to the effect that, to the knowledge of the head, the records to which the applicant is given access are all the records in the possession of the public body relating to the request to which the applicant is entitled to access under the Act.
Subclause 6(1) requires a public body, when providing an applicant with an estimate of the amount of fees, to also provide the applicant with a breakdown of the fees.
Subclause 6(2) provides that, where a public body provides an applicant with an estimate of the fees chargeable for services in responding to a request for information, the amount of the fee shall not exceed the estimated amount.
Subclause 6(3) adds to the list of factors that the head of a public body considers when deciding whether not to waive fees that may be charged to cover expenses incurred in responding to a request pursuant to the Act.
(a) provides that where a review officer concludes that a public body has, with respect to a request, failed to do anything within any time limit prescribed by the Act or has otherwise violated the Act, the public body loses the right to charge a fee for responding to the request and must refund any fee that has been paid; and

(a) enables the head of a public body to refuse to disclose municipal police investigative records that have been in existence for less than twenty years; and
(b) sets out the types of records that the head of a municipal unit may refuse to disclose.
Clause 8 allows the head of a self-governing professional or trade association, when assessing whether an access request is an unreasonable invasion of privacy, to consider whether disclosure is consistent with the object or mandate of the society to protect the public interest.
Clause 9 prohibits the head of a public body from disclosing information that is subject to solicitor-client privilege unless the public body is the client or the client consents to the disclosure.
Clause 10 makes it clear that an applicant may ask for the review of a decision by the head of a public body that a request is too vague to be processed at a reasonable cost.
Clause 11 repeals the present provisions of the Act dealing with the designation, term of office, tenure and redesignation of review officers and replaces it with new provisions providing for the appointment, salary and tenure of an Information Commissioner and review officers.
Clause 12 requires the head of a public body to give detailed reasons for a decision not to follow the recommendation of a review officer.
(a) entitles the Information Commissioner to appeal to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia from a decision of the head of a public body not to follow the recommendation of a review officer; and
(b) repeals a provision that barred a review officer from being a party to an appeal.

Subclause 14(2) adds a definition of "personal-information bank" to the Act.
Clause 15 provides that a report of a review officer is open to public inspection.
Clause 16 repeals a provision that empowers the Governor in Council to designate certain entities as public bodies, since Clause 1 of this Bill makes such entities public bodies.
Clause 17 requires the Governor in Council to provide for a review of the Act every three years.
Clause 18 adds to the Act
(a) a Schedule A that lists existing bodies that would be, by reason of the existing provisions of the Act and the amendments made by Clause 1, public bodies, other than self-governing professional or trade associations, within the meaning of the Act;
