5823-02086 — Environment and Climate Change Canada

Environment and Climate Change Canada

The complainant alleged that Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) failed to respond to an access request within the legislated time limits, even after an extension. The request was for records concerning meetings and lobbying efforts by the Pathways Alliance Inc. The investigation found that ECCC did not provide a response by the extended deadline due to significant delays by internal offices in retrieving records. The Commissioner ordered ECCC to provide a response by a specific date and recommended improvements to internal processes for timely record retrieval.
