It's our opinion that the National Arts Centre does not need a specific exemption. The kinds of relations it has with its donors are important, and they are based on confidentiality. That confidentiality can be protected under the existing statute.
You mentioned the National Gallery. It operates in that milieu now and has no problem. Also, the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board--all of the discussions about the export of Canadian cultural property, and getting tax certificates for it, all being handled by an agency--is covered by the Access to Information Act and has no special exemption, and there were no complaints to our office over the years alleging that they could not do their job as a result.
