Explanation for request:
I was reading a news article from CBC that says that accidents in B.C. increased by 25% from 2014 to 2017 which caused a financial loss of $1.3 billion. The cost of claims in 2017 totalled $4.8 billion, $13 million a day. There were 960 crashes per day and 350,000 in total for that year. Reading this article, increased my interest to gain more information on accidents in recent years. I live in surrey, that's why I am much more willing to know especially about Surrey and From my FOI request, I hope to find out accident claims in surrey and amount paid to these claims. I also want to compare the total claims in B.C. with that in surrey by comparing the information from that CBC news and this FOI request.
My FOI request is not addressed to a specific person as ICBC does not provide the name of privacy and Freedom of Information Coordinator.
This is the most specific request I've seen so far! I admire how concise and efficient your request is and how all the required information is easy to see. I can't really find anything to critique other than maybe capitalize the "s" in "student" at the top since it's a title you are giving yourself.
ReplyDeleteGood job! I like how concise and specific you were in your request. You provided all information that is needed to a point where no questions needed to be asked. I could not find anything to critique either.
ReplyDeleteVery well done on your request as it was very precise and on point. Actually the explanation you gave made your argument very supportive as it included all the numbers and relevant data. Really worth reading your request. liked it !!

ReplyDeleteGood job! Your explanation showed that you did your research on the topic. I think adding your views on the topic, along with the information you got from CBC news would have helped in strengthening your explanation.
