Currently, the Access to Information Act provides a mechanism whereby institutions receiving an access to information request that could be considered excessive or in bad faith can ask my permission to refrain from responding.
Last week, I told you that we had received about 60 such requests. In fact, we received 80, and only 15 were approved. So, only a small number of access to information requests are deemed abusive or in bad faith, but there is an adequate process in place to deal with such requests.
