I don't know that any connection should be made with the number of substantiated ATIP requests. However, I can tell you that if the government can give them the information they are requesting quickly, Canadians will be less likely to turn to sources that are not very reliable or to social media, which can provide false information.
That's why the government has a responsibility to provide the requested information as quickly as possible. That way, even if they do not agree about some information or certain decisions, at least people have a better understanding of what was done and the circumstances under which it was done.
