What happens next

The clock is the story

Day 0

You file

The legal 30-day response clock starts the moment your request is received.

Day 30

They answer — or they don't

Documents, redactions, extension letters, silence: every outcome becomes data. Send us what you get back.

Day 31+

Late responses get reported

Missed deadlines become free complaints to the Information Commissioner — a public paper trail of the agency's compliance record.

Day 60

The report

Everything gets compiled into a public database and the biggest crowd-sourced accountability report in Canadian history — with every contributor's request counted.
