Well, I can tell you that when I asked the commissioner, when she appeared earlier this week, whether she had concerns about PCO's lack of compliance with the law, she answered in the affirmative. It's no wonder, because when you look at the statistics in 2024-25, there were 744 access to information requests at PCO, and in relation to those 744 requests, there were 219 complaints accepted by the Information Commissioner for non-compliance with the act. That is a complaint ratio that is a staggering 30%. Presently, PCO has the dubious distinction of having the most complaints of any department across government.
Why is it that the commissioner has had to issue, this year, a record number of orders to comply with the Access to Information Act for PCO? Why has that been necessary?
