After being ordered to release details of its downtown expansion project, the City of Brampton has complied with the province's Information and Privacy Commissioner.

City staff had refused to release certain information about the $205 million first phase of the redevelopment by Dominus construction. Resident Chris Bejnar filed a freedom of information request to get details of the project's square footage and cost more than a year ago. When staff rejected his request he appealed to the Information and Privacy Commissioner, who at the end of July ruled the information had to be disclosed by Sept. 6.

Bejnar said the citizen's group he belongs to needs to analyze the information he just received to determine if it's exactly what was requested and, if so, whether Brampton taxpayers are getting a good deal. City councillors, who were kept in the dark about the project's details, also said they will be analyzing the information.
