Freedom of Information Act requests still unanswered after 49 days, now no chance to inform public before government closes public consultations on Sunday

Freedom of Information requests were filed on April 9, just days after the development was announced. The Wilderness Committee asked Premier Doer, Conservation Minister Struthers, and the Conservation department that public open houses be delayed until the information requests were answered, but to no avail. The public consultation window opened on April 30. On May 6, the government sent a letter saying they could not answer the information request in the required 30-day period, and extended the time period for another 30 days. Now, mere days before the public consultations on this project are closing on May 31, the information requests have not been answered.
