At this time, I believe that our budget is enough for what we've accomplished so far. What worries me is the uptick in the number of complaints. As I said, we have no control over that and no way to access additional funding to address it.
Our caseload has decreased and become more manageable, but we're receiving a lot more complaints. For example, this month, we've received 60% more complaints than the same month last year. If the trend continues, we won't have the capacity to maintain a reasonable caseload, which will negatively impact plaintiffs, Canadians and, ultimately, the right to access information.
