        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4347885\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I think Sweden and Finland were the first to enact an access to information regime going back... in Sweden it was 1776 when they brought in access to information. They're bound to have it pretty good by this point.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4347886\" data-originallang=\"en\">In Newfoundland, and you're saying Sweden...I think we need to ensure both in terms of technology and IT and resources that we can respond quickly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4347887\" data-originallang=\"en\">This question of frivolous or vexatious requests is an important one. We're doing research now to determine to what extent these can impede what are considered legitimate...but we also don't want to prevent people.... Broadly, there are people who may think that their request is absolutely significant, and we want to take every request seriously. We are looking at ways to improve service. Part of it will be resources to ensure that departments, broadly, and access to information have the resources they need, but part of it could be process as well. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4347888\" data-originallang=\"en\">What are bottlenecks in the process now that are preventing us from acting more quickly? That's something that we're looking at now. Jennifer may want to comment on that, but we are looking at where there may be unnecessary bottlenecks.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4347885\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je crois que la Su\u00e8de et la Finlande ont \u00e9t\u00e9 les premiers pays \u00e0 adopter un r\u00e9gime d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019information qui remonte \u00e0\u2026 en Su\u00e8de, c\u2019est en 1776 que ce pays a introduit l\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019information. Il devrait plut\u00f4t bien ma\u00eetriser la question \u00e0 ce stade.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4347886\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 Terre-Neuve, et vous dites la Su\u00e8de\u2026 Je pense qu\u2019il faut s\u2019assurer, sur le plan de la technologie et de la TI et des ressources, d\u2019\u00eatre en mesure de fournir une r\u00e9ponse rapidement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4347887\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette question des demandes frivoles ou vexatoires est importante. Des \u00e9tudes sont en cours pour d\u00e9terminer dans quelle mesure ces demandes peuvent g\u00eaner ce qui est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme l\u00e9gitime\u2026 mais nous ne voulons pas non plus emp\u00eacher les gens\u2026 G\u00e9n\u00e9ralement, il y a des personnes qui croient que leur demande est d\u2019une importance absolue et nous voulons prendre chaque demande au s\u00e9rieux. Nous examinons de quelle mani\u00e8re nous pourrions am\u00e9liorer le service. Une partie de la solution se trouve du c\u00f4t\u00e9 des ressources pour que les minist\u00e8res, d\u2019une mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, et l\u2019Acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019information aient les ressources dont ils ont besoin, mais une autre partie pourrait venir du processus \u00e9galement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4347888\" data-originallang=\"en\">O\u00f9 sont les goulots d\u2019\u00e9tranglement qui nous emp\u00eachent actuellement d\u2019agir plus rapidement? C\u2019est une chose que nous examinons de pr\u00e8s. Jennifer pourrait commenter, mais nous regardons l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il pourrait y avoir des blocages inutiles.</p>"
