A breach of the provisions of the Ontario Freedom of Information and Privacy Act can lead to liability in damages for the provincial crown. The Act provides for a right of action for any person who suffers a loss as a result of a contravention of the Act by the provincial government or a public institution.

The other options listed are not correct, as they are not supported by the Act or the legal system in Ontario.
