3218-01665 — Library and Archives Canada and Canadian Security Intelligence Service

Library and Archives Canada

The complainant alleged that Library and Archives Canada (LAC) failed to respond to an access request within the statutory time limits. LAC took an extensive extension but still missed the deadline, resulting in a deemed refusal. The delay was partly due to a consultation with CSIS and LAC's lack of infrastructure to process Top Secret records. The Information Commissioner found the complaint well founded, recommending immediate action and a permanent solution for processing classified records.
