Madame Thi Lac referred to the fact that when this act was first put in place we didn't have the Internet, so we had to physically have a space where files could be kept. People were there to oversee the processes, etc. We had to do it in that manner because there wasn't any other method.
People have referenced the New Zealand system, where you automatically place.... But doesn't it make sense that we don't necessarily need a legislative change? This is just process. I think the intention of the act is quite clear. You stated that it's a fundamental principle of democratic rights in a society such as ours. So why wouldn't the executive branches of government take on that open government concept and immediately file these things on the Internet, instead of using the antiquated processes we have at the present time?
