There is no correlation between the emergency in Lacolle and the access to information request. It is incorrect to think that we did not respond to the access to information request. A request has to be processed properly, and that takes the time it needs.
To explain the situation we were in from 2020 to 2022, coming out of a global pandemic, the number of access to information requests sent to the Canada Border Services Agency rose by 51%, for a total of 11,457 requests. Every day, I handle 6,000 access to information and privacy requests and I resolve over 100.
In the case you have raised, processing the request is independent of the emergency in Lacolle. That is why initially I did not understand your question correctly, and I apologize for that. The request is processed properly and takes its normal course, having regard to the consultations that are required.
