Health Canada Delays Info Request 15 Years on Vaccines
Every delay has consequences.
Health Canada has confirmed its longest current extension under the Access to Information Act is 15 years, covering a request for vaccine and adverse drug reaction reports dating back to 1998. The request originally involved several million pages of records.
The department stated that the request has been narrowed in scope and is actively being processed, but the original extension remains in place because the Act does not allow amendment 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 and extensive consultations
