Public Inquiries Resolution Policy
In accordance with our Values and Commitments, we seek to provide exemplary service and resolve inquiries in a timely manner.
Inquiries of an applicable nature which are ‘Trivial’, ‘Frivolous’, ‘Vexatious’, ‘False’ or ‘made in Bad
Faith’ can consume a disproportionate amount of CVC staff time and resources and impede staff
from attending to other essential work and/or adversely impact the business of the corporation. Our Public Inquiries Resolution Policy establishes the process to be used by all CVC staff when a party makes an inquiry of an applicable nature involving a ‘pattern of conduct’. This is intended to be a process or remedy of last resort, after reasonable and appropriate efforts have been made to respond to an inquiry.
