Time Extensions ... Paragraph 9(1)(a) of the Access to Information Act provides that institutions may extend the 30-day time limit to respond to a request for information if it is for a large number of records or necessitates a search through a large number of records and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the institution.

Dans ses enquêtes [...], le Commissariat voit invariablement dans l'abus des prorogations de délai une cause majeure des retards qui empêchent de donner suite aux demandes d'accès à l'information. L'alinéa 9(1)a) - qui prévoit une prorogation quand une demande exige de trouver de nombreux dossiers ou de faire des recherches dans ces dossiers, ce qui entraverait de façon sérieuse le fonctionnement de l'institution - est appliqué de façon inégale, à cause des diverses interprétations données à la notion de «volume important» et, souvent, des efforts de l'institution pour gérer sa charge de travail.

DEF

... a continually growing or expanding incised meander formed during a single cycle of erosion by the enlargement or accentuation of an initial minor sinuosity while the stream was actively downcutting; a meander that "grows in place". It exhibits a pronounced asymmetric cross profile(a well-developed, steep undercut slope on the outside of the meander, a gentle slip-off slope on the inside) and is produced when the rate of downcutting is slow enough to afford time for lateral erosion.

Mais il existe également des méandres encaissés qui résultent, le plus souvent, de l'enfoncement sur place d'une vallée à méandres, en fonction d'un soulèvement de la région (...).
