If the number of requests keeps increasing, then yes. We'll need to either reallocate funds internally or obtain more funding. With what's currently going on within government, it's difficult, because everyone's budget is being cut. It's hard for me to say that I need more money while access to information units within federal institutions are being cut.
What I'm advocating for is for access to information to be considered a priority because it's a legal right and for access to information units to not be cut. Even if I had more money and could conduct more investigations, it would all be for naught if federal institutions were unable to respond to my requests for information or representations.
We have to strike a balance. Of course, if transparency is the priority, we need to ensure that the right mechanisms are in place so that the funding matches the demand.
