Thank you.

And in the area of the Access to Information Act, when a request is made, the act requires that a response be given within 30 days; otherwise it is deemed that there has been a refusal. Section 9 of the act allows institutions to extend that deadline, which I believe happened in this case.

Are there Treasury Board guidelines that apply specifically to that? I think you just alluded to them, but could you just clarify?

See context to find out what was said next.
