Can media ask a non profit organization for financial informations? (Canada)
<p>I work as a VP finance for a non profit organization in New Brunswick, Canada and last week a journal contacted us for financial informations.</p>

<p>I know there is a Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (RTIPPA) in Canada but after reading it im not sure we are a public body as described in the act. Can somebody tell me if my organization is under a law that would enable requests to get access to our financial informations?</p>

<p>The law is a bit murky because it doesn't define "public body", but to compensate, the NB government promulgates a list of <a href="http://www2.gnb.ca/content/dam/gnb/Departments/gs-sg/pdf/DirectoryofPublicBodies.pdf" rel="nofollow">things it thinks are public bodies</a>. A more intuitive expression would be "government agency". Anyhow, you can see if your name and address are on the list, because it is quite specific.</p>
