Public Services and Procurement Canada

The complainant alleged that Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) failed to respond to an access request for records concerning the procurement of new handguns for the military within the 30-day time limit. PSPC did not respond by the due date of July 5, 2021, and cited backlogs, operational challenges, and staffing issues for the delay. The Information Commissioner found the complaint well-founded, noting that these reasons do not absolve PSPC of its statutory obligation.
