On the same issue, I must say I was amused this morning to read in the Information Commissioner's report that Health Canada has replaced its approval process for highly sensitive cases with a notification process. The report also said that this change has resulted in improved turnaround times and compliance for access to information requests, of course. But last September 28, I made an access to information request to your department to find out how many individuals were in the illegal situation I was describing to you earlier in terms of accessing marijuana for medical purposes. I have been waiting for an answer for 163 days now, which obviously exceeds the standards. Where is my request? Madam, why don't I have access to this information?
