Dear oce (CERA),
Thank you for your response.
I would have imagined that you would have had a robust process for dealing with OAI requests, including if nothing else looking in the sent items of Janet Bramham, Community and Customer Services, Social and Cultural Recovery who responded on the October 21, 2014 with "Thank you for your email. I have forwarded it to my colleagues who are handling Official Information Act requests."
Regardless of that you did not respond to the fact that by law, CERA should normally have responded promptly and by November 18, 2014.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Sutherland
