Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for appearing before us.
Madame Doucet, you are in a very important position and you are appearing before us at a very important time because you have a unique capacity to be able to describe to this committee the information technology architecture that's inherent within the Privy Council Office.
You have intrigued the committee already with your statements that, from a disaster mitigation point of view, there is a mechanism to be able to hold electronic records, but only for.... By an architectural design, if I can summarize what you said, it will only keep those records for 30 days. There are obviously other architectural elements to the information technology systems of the Privy Council Office for the retention of electronic records. Could you describe to the committee what those systems are?
An individual writing an e-mail will obviously hold that e-mail on their own personal computer for an indefinite period of time, but there are also obviously other servers in the Privy Council Office that hold electronic records, e-mail records in particular. Would you be able to describe the architecture, being the assistant deputy minister of corporate services for the Privy Council Office?
