An Ottawa museum can release documents about a public exhibition without endangering federal-provincial relations , the Information Commissioner has ruled.
Despite these public exhibits, the Quebec museum has refused Jelinski access to information about the displays under the direction of the Quebec coroner’s office, which now believes that the human remains – dating to the 1920s and 1930s and originally held by the provincial forensics lab – should never have been displayed.
Maynard, who pointed out that photographs of the remains and documentation about their exhibition are not the objects themselves, dismissed this argument as unspecific: “Ingenium has failed to identify any specific harm to the conduct of federal-provincial affairs that could flow from the disclosure of the images.
The remains were assembled almost a century ago by pioneering Quebec pathologist Wilfrid Derome without the consent of the victims’ families. The forensics lab transferred the entire collection, which also includes scrapbooks of crime scene photography, to the Museum of Civilization in 1997 before reclaiming the human remains in 2020, having belatedly raised privacy concerns about releasing images.
