Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] Dear OIA, Good Afternoon Michelle I understand your point about it being a very broad request. I think it will help if we keep it to the current government which makes it a VERY narrow timeframe. It should not be hard for each minister and associate minister to provide the information at least. I would appreciate it if you could please provide all correspondence from these sources. Ministers Yours sincerely, adam
