Seeing as I am sitting on this side, I'm forced to ask the question about the timeline.
I'm still a little unclear. What was the urgency over the summer that it had to be answered? I think the law actually provides for a certain delay, and maybe that was the reason. I just want you to explain why that decision had to be taken so quickly.
I'd like to point out that since 2006, I think, the actual time it takes to get a response for an ATIP request has extended dramatically. I was wondering if you have any sense of how long it takes to get an acceptance or a rejection from ATIP generally. If I'm not mistaken, the law calls for 30 days.
Maybe that's why you wanted to make a decision, but you may in fact be the only department I know of that answers within 30 days. Was that the reason it was answered so quickly?
