The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) did not respond by the extended due date under subsection 9(1) of the Access to Information Act to an access request for Government communications regarding former House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota’s recognition of Yaroslav Hunka at the President of Ukraine’s September 2023 address to both Houses of Parliament. The allegation falls within paragraph 30(1)(a) of the Act. The Information Commissioner ordered that PCO provide a complete response to the access request no later than 36 business days following the date of the final report. PCO did not provide notice to the Commissioner that it would implement the Commissioner’s order. The complaint is well founded.
