Access to the Department of Environment and Climate Change Information Systems
The Policy, Planning and Natural Areas Division provides public access to its arbitration awards and collective agreements in the Province.
Documents are available electronically on its website and it shares its arbitration awards decisions with CanLII - Canadian Legal Information Institute. In an effort to establish a balance between public access to its awards and privacy concerns, the department has taken measures to prevent Internet searches of full-text versions posted on its website. This was accomplished by using the "web robot exclusion protocol" 
, which is recognized by Internet search engines (e.g., Google and Yahoo). As a result, an Internet search of a person's name is not intended to yield any information from the full-text versions of documents posted on the website.
