Well, this really isn't something that deals with abuse. Right now, section 9 is a bit antiquated. It talks only about two instances in which you can go beyond the 30-day timeframe. Now, maybe there aren't enough penalties in the system, in any event, to prevent departments from going beyond 30 days, as was mentioned earlier. But section 9 of the Access to Information Act just talks about the need to search or to consult.
This really relates to the question of allowing time extensions in other contexts. You see some examples where, for example, if an institution were flooded with requests in some fashion or an unmanageable volume, there could be some kind of blackout, or there could be other events that occur that prevent requests from being processed. So this would be an opportunity for the commissioner, or a department, in effect, to give an extension in extraordinary circumstances.
