5820-04070 — Transport Canada and Department of Justice Canada and Public Health Agency of Canada and Global Affairs Canada and Canada Border Services Agency and Public Safety Canada

Transport Canada

The complainant alleged that Transport Canada's 510-day extension to respond to an access request was unreasonable. The request concerned records on new testing and quarantine measures for non-essential international air travel. Transport Canada argued the extension was needed due to the large volume of records, the complexity of searches, necessary consultations with other government bodies, and third-party representations. The Commissioner found that the institution adequately demonstrated the necessity and reasonableness of the time extensions under paragraphs 9(1)(a), 9(1)(b), and 9(1)(c) of the Act.
