Other Information: The number of Access to Information Act requests received by the NEB increased considerably in 2010-11. This unprecedented number of requests affected performance results. To address this, the NEB assigned additional resources through internal reallocation and developed new tools during the year.
Note: According to prevailing legal opinion, where the corresponding fee introduction or most recent modification occurred prior to March 31, 2004:
- the performance standard, if provided, would not have received parliamentary review; and
- the performance standard, if provided, may not respect all established requirements under the UFA (e.g., international comparison or independent complaint address); and
- the performance result, if provided, is not legally subject to section 5.1 of the UFA regarding fee reductions for unachieved performance.
