Dear Secretary CSC,

Thank you for this information, however I am surprised by how few documents you have identified as falling within the scope of this request.

Can you confirm that there was no correspondence between the CSC and Dept of Finance, or CSC and Dept of Defence, that falls within the scope of my original request?

I find it staggering the Dept of Finance didn't have any correspondence with the CSC about the merger.

Yours sincerely,

Red
