Dear Kyle Church
 
Thank you for your request of 12 April 2021 for:
 
all correspondence regarding:
1. cannabis policy or;
2. the issue of cannabis in New Zealand.
Between
The Minister of MBIE, or employees of the Ministry.
and
The Food and Grocery Council, or people acting on their behalf.
 
I am writing to advise you that we need to extend the time available to
answer your request, in accordance with section 15A of the Official
Information Act 1982.  The response will be with you no later than 21 May
2021.
 
The reason for the extension is that consultations necessary to make a
decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request
cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
 
If we can respond sooner, we will do so.
 
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of our decision to
extend the time limit by the Ombudsman, whose address for contact purposes
is:
The Ombudsman
Office of the Ombudsman
PO Box 10-152
WELLINGTON 6143
 
Many thanks
