With a few areas, I could see it, maybe for two or three years, but in most areas, no. It's just highly overrated. I went and got cabinet discussion papers when they were available, about 400 of them, and it was just like municipal council records. There was nothing in there that, in most cases, was highly sensitive. It's so overblown.
They're not cabinet confidence; they're cabinet records. They're just like any other record in the government.
Take the example of cabinet confidence. Do you know that the records of cabinet are never kept in full? There's no transcript. They're just sanitized summaries, and that is not full and frank discussion. Even if it is full and frank discussion, Canadians have the right to know that.
