The complainant alleged that Library and Archives Canada (LAC) took an unreasonable amount of time to respond to an access request. LAC extended the response deadline by 639 days to consult with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) on 974 pages of records. The Information Commissioner found the extension unreasonable, stating LAC did not make a serious effort to assess the necessary length of the extension and relied heavily on CSIS's estimate. The Commissioner ordered LAC to provide a response within 60 business days and recommended updates on consultation timelines.

The complainant alleged that the Department of Justice Canada (Justice) took an unreasonable extension of time to respond to an access request for records concerning a presentation booking and cancellation. Justice claimed a 292-day extension under paragraph 9(1)(a) and a 90-day extension under paragraph 9(1)(b). The Information Commissioner found the 292-day extension unreasonable, citing a lack of justification and a flawed page count. As Justice also failed to respond within the 90-day extension, it was deemed to have refused access. The Commissioner ordered Justice to provide a complete response within 36 business days.
