When referring to page numbers below, I mean the pages in the Client Package disclosed under A-2022-05111. Specifically, I would like to request the following: 1. The "Board deck" (presumably a PowerPoint presentation) mentioned on pages 21-27. 2. The powerpoint attached to the email on page 47, which apparently deals with discrepancies between dTCC data. 3. The media lines attached to the email on page 95. 4. The excel sheet attached to the email on page 98. 5. The presentation attached to the email on page 135. 6. Both attachments to the email on page 135, plus the two documents that are linked to in the email: the impact estimates and communication plan. 7. The attachment to the email on page 142. 8. The "Key messages" document linked to in the body of the email on page 145. 9. The Excel file attached to the email on page 165. 10. I would like any contextual documents related to the document which appears on pages 359-360 ("Brochure: 2020 Rent Increase Guidelines). I imagine this was an attachment to an email, in which case I would like the email (possibly pages 4368-4369 of the raw request). I would also like to request any other documents related to how the brochure was located by the PMPRB, or what use was made of the Brochure by the PMPRB (like subsequent email discussions or meeting agendas which list this document, or reports or memos written about this document, etc). In each case, I would like the most recent or final version. I do not need drafts. Please exclude cabinet confidences.
