Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge has submitted an application to a federal court in an attempt to prevent the disclosure of records requested by the information commissioner.

“Records that have not yet been produced are voluminous,” lawyers for St-Onge’s department said in an application to a federal judge. “They total approximately 10,500 pages. They must be reviewed.”
