Notion of Motion to Compel Full and Adequate Responses to Information Requests (IRs)
Please find enclosed the notice of motion to compel full and adequate responses to IRs, filed on behalf of the Board of Friends of Ecological Reserves (FER). The filing is in the form of a Table with colour coding as follows:
FER would like to take this opportunity to state that we reviewed all responses. For the inadequate responses we have provided clarification to support that claim. We have also retained all IRs and responses as we have learned from the adequately answered responses too, and these need to remain part of the record.
We have provided links to documents wherever possible through footnotes. We have used endnotes to display maps or portions of references provided by TMX when needed to support understanding of IRs.
