In terms of the delays, what we have right now and what we saw with—I think it might have been Transport—in which the commissioner actually had to go to Federal Court and fight a battle over an 1,100-day extension that the government gave itself.... That's just not acceptable. At some point it has to fall to the commissioner to say: yes, department, this is a very large request; you get thus much more time.
This is what we have in British Columbia right now. There's a response period of 30 working days. There's also a 30-day extension that public bodies can take, if the request would overburden the department. In fact it's impossible to challenge the extension that the public body takes, because by the time you get a complaint before the commissioner for deemed refusal, the 30 days are up, so de facto what this amounts to is 60 days.
After that, the public body has to go to the commissioner to get an extension. We see no reason why that shouldn't be the case federally.
