'''Question'''
'''Q11: What do I do if I receive an access to information request for a Question Period note before I have a chance to proactively publish it?'''

The request-based system and the proactive publication provisions of the ATIA operate in tandem, with a common goal of making government information more open and transparent.
Canadians can still make a request for Question Period notes, even though these are scheduled to be proactively published. Institutions must, within legislated deadlines, process access to information requests for Question Period notes, even though the notes will be ultimately proactively published.
Section 26 (Refusal of access if information to be published) does not apply if the publication is pursuant to a requirement in Part 2 of the Act.

The Act requires the proactive publication of the package of Question Period notes that was in use on the last sitting day in June and December (in other words, when the House adjourns). It is understood that the House may have a special or unusual sitting after adjourning, such as sitting for the purpose of royal assent. In such situations, the package of Question Period notes that was in use for the last Question Period before adjournment would be proactively published
