Your Rights under the Quebec Privacy Act and How to Exercise Them

If we decline to take action with respect to a request, we will provide a justification for our decision within 30 days of receipt of the request and include the provision of the law on which our decision is based, the remedies available to you and the time limit in which they can be exercised.
