D-0001 · National Defence starts the statutory clock on the day it opens the file

8 September 2026 · Department of National Defence

Class C · score 8, High · 800 CAD · Answered, not corrected

Obligation. The Access to Information Act counts thirty days from the day the request is received by the institution.

Conduct. A request sent on 29 August 2026 was entered as received on 31 August 2026. The department declined to correct the date and gave its own rule for it: “a file is deemed received when it is entered into our system.”

Why it scores where it does. Reach 2, because the rule is not about one file and applies to every request the department receives. Harm 1, time and a shortened statutory clock. Absence of a remedy 2, because the only route is a complaint to the Information Commissioner, measured in months. Persistence 3, because the department stated the rule in writing and kept it after being told. Total 8, High, 400 dollars, doubled to 800 because the rule reaches everyone the programme serves.

Evidence. Files A-2026-01143, A-2026-01144 and A-2026-01154, and the department’s own written answer. Dates published in the register of requests.

Since. Complaints to the Information Commissioner on 20 September 2026, files 5826-04346, 5826-04347 and 5826-04348; a further complaint on the moved dates of receipt on 29 September 2026.

Conduct. On file A-2026-00736 the acknowledgement reads “received on .” and “within 30 days of .” Twice in one notice, with no date. The only fixed date on that file is the day the request left.

Why it scores where it does. Reach 1, one notice template. Harm 1, the requester cannot count the deadline the notice describes. Absence of a remedy 1, the department can correct it on request. Persistence 1, twice in the same document. Total 4, Medium, 100 dollars.

Evidence. The acknowledgement for A-2026-00736, quoted in the register of requests.

D-0003 · The Privy Council Office opened no file because an officer is away

8 September 2026 · Privy Council Office

Class G · score 5, Medium · 100 CAD · Open

Obligation. Thirty days from receipt by the institution. The statute counts from receipt, not from the day an officer returns to work.

Conduct. No file opened, no number issued, no date named. The reason given is that the officer with authority over the five-dollar fee is absent.

Why it scores where it does. Reach 1, everyone who files while that officer is away. Harm 1, the clock has no visible start. Absence of a remedy 2, the Information Commissioner. Persistence 1, stated once as a reason. Total 5, Medium, 100 dollars.

Evidence. The department’s written answer, recorded in the register of requests.

Since. The file was opened on 11 September 2026, twelve days after receipt, as A-2026-00579. Complaint to the Information Commissioner on 17 September 2026, file 5826-04322.

D-0004 · The federal contract register publishes every amendment as a contract

8 September 2026 · Government of Canada, proactive disclosure of contracts

Class E · score 9, High · 400 CAD · Not yet notified

Obligation. The Government of Canada publishes every contract over 10,000 dollars as open data, for the public to use. Nothing in the documentation says amendment rows must be excluded from a sum, and no field carries the amount an amendment adds.

Conduct. Each amendment is published as a separate row carrying the whole value of the contract after the amendment. Summing the 1,313,540 published rows gives 1,232,280,189,662 dollars. Collapsed to one row per contract, the register holds 609,083,183,336 dollars. The sum of the rows overstates the real total by 102 per cent.

Why it scores where it does. Reach 3, national, and every person who uses the dataset. Harm 1, money and time, with no personal injury. Absence of a remedy 3, because no route exists for a member of the public to compel a publisher to correct an open dataset. Persistence 2, because the defect is built into how the register is produced. Total 9, High, 400 dollars.

Evidence and method. Full workings, including the second defect underneath it, are published in the finding.
