Yes, I can imagine.
Do you analyze the nature of requests?
I, for one, had to wait almost two years before I received a response to an access to information request I had made. That was 11 years ago. Lawyers had to intervene in the file to see if there were any legal issues.
Do you know a little bit about the nature of the requests? Do you know why the number of requests increases by 25% from year to year?
