Yes, they could stop quoting every damn exemption that they can creatively use. They can get off their whatevers and answer the requests instead of waiting five or 10 years. They can do a lot of things, but they have an attitude problem about it, so they don't want to do them.
As for the provincial governments, they are equally first-generation secrecy places. They have the fees that they can still use as a barrier. What they use federally instead of a barrier is they say, “We'll give you a 120-day or 320-day time extension. Go away.” It's bad.
