Madame McCulloch may explain the process in detail, but my understanding is that the request comes to the access to information office. It does not come to the minister's office. Therefore, the minister's office is not aware of requests that we receive as they come into the department. We process the file, and then we inform the senior bureaucrats, as well as the minister's office, when the files will be made public. That's the process.
