Response provided within 30 days following receipt of request; the response time may be extended pursuant to section 9 of the Access to Information Act. Notice of extension to be sent within 30 days after receipt of request. The Act provides more details. | ||
Performance Results | ||
There were 1,197 access requests completed in 2007–2008: 45.2% were completed on time; 54.8% were completed late. The results reflect a significant effort to reduce the accumulated inventory of requests while managing a growing workload. Significant resources were expended to address workload (including the remaining inventory) and to otherwise support the function while permanent staffing and training activities are under way. Overall compliance with legislative time frames continues to improve as investments are made and elements of the CBSA’s three-year plan to strengthen and stabilize the access to information and privacy function are completed. | ||
