Discussions on extending Autoroute 25 north have been taking place for a number of decades. It is an issue of vital importance for the region. The highway will pass through the centre of the city of Bois-des-Filion over land already owned by the Ministère des Transports. The city of Bois-des-Filion asked the Ministère des Transports for a copy of the most recent plans describing how the highway that runs through the city is planned to be built. The city convinced the Commission d’accès à l’information that the documents requested were accessible based on the following arguments: The documents are not considered drafts because they are plan prepared at an early stage of the process, but complete documents intended for a specific purpose; The disclosure of the documents was unlikely to result in any prejudice to the Ministère des Transports.
