Documents about policies and practices (including some material reflecting individual cases) are relevant to the applicant's challenge, but the broad categories of individual file discovery sought were disproportionate; the appropriate remedy is to require the respondents to file a full, frank affidavit explaining the policies and practices followed in investigating and prosecuting wage subsidy misuse with associated documents by 26 February 2022, after which the applicant may apply for further discovery.
