The department stated the request has been narrowed in scope and is actively being processed, but the original extension remains because the Act does not provide an opportunity to amend it after the first 30 days of the request.

The Public Health Agency of Canada acknowledged delays tied to pandemic-era records, with one request extended by more than five years. The agency cited the volume of material moving through senior offices during COVID-19 and extensive consultations.

Public Works reported an extension of 10,000 days, roughly 27 years, for a request received in 2023 involving about 200,000 pages of documents. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said it took eight years to process nearly 68,000 pages of records.

The figures were released after Conservative MP Colin Reynolds asked which Access To Information requests received since January 1, 2020 had the longest extensions still underway. The disclosure emerged in an Inquiry of Ministry response.

The lengthy delays stand in contrast to cabinet's 2015 promise that federal information would be "open by default." Emails released in 2019 showed some departments weighed political considerations before releasing information.
