Speaking for PCO, I've now supported four commissions of inquiry. I'm supporting the current commission of inquiry into foreign interference. I've never seen a request to get all documents.
As I mentioned, our role is really just providing arm's-length support. We happen to hold on to these documents until they go to the archivists at Library and Archives Canada, so that the public, the media and others can access them after review. It just so happens that we've received this request at a time when we're the holders of the documents. Therefore, it's our responsibility to respond. It is unique in that respect. I cannot recall, certainly in my six years in this role, a request like this. That is why we look at this as unique and we're looking for unique solutions to the issue at hand.
