I happened to be involved with one in 1998-99, which was when the Liberal MP Beaumier got section 67.1 passed, which said you shouldn't alter or prevent records from getting out. That, I think, sent a ripple through the bureaucracy. We had had the blood committee records destruction; we had had Somalia, where certain records were covered up.
I'm not saying that you guys didn't try. I just think you might have been a little hoodwinked by the mandarins. If you had just brought in those corporations—and by the way, the 69 additions you talked about include some of the subsidiaries, whereas I mean the main guys—it would have been better if you hadn't added all their bells and whistles to pro-secrecy, and if you hadn't said we'll exclude, besides administrative records, the operational records, policy-making records, communication records, decision-making records. All those are excluded, in some cases. I don't feel that this is a wise move, because every other agency would like that too.
I would like to say that the Federal Accountability Act could have done whatever, but I'm getting blank pages. I'm not an expert who doesn't try using the act.
