Lawyers and organizations working on environmental issues and migrants’ rights are concerned about changes to the Access to Information Act proposed by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government. He’s been using the Access to Information Act for about 15 years and says he’s noticed that processing times are longer than they used to be. “The average immigration lawyer is probably submitting an access to information act request every two days,” he says. These details, which can be obtained through access to information requests, are useful in the context of new immigration applications. So the only way you can answer those questions is through an access to information act request to get the copy of the records,” he said.
