EDMONTON – Alberta’s privacy commissioner will review “chronic delays” in the Justice Department’s response to freedom-of-information requests.
Commissioner Jill Clayton says her office has issued eight orders which found Alberta Justice and the Solicitor General failed to meet timelines to respond.
She says her office is dealing with many other files that raise similar concerns.
Legislation requires a public body to respond to a request within 30 days or within a stipulated extension period.
