No. Instead of having all these files in storage rooms with people overseeing the whole process, why not automatically file all this information on the Internet so it's truly accessible? Unfortunately we've seen an evolution where these people who were supposed to be employees, whose role was to provide access, are becoming more and more like gatekeepers. They slow down requests by members of Parliament, whose role it is to hold the government to account on behalf of the people of Canada. It's almost Orwellian. It has become the opposite of what the intention of the act quite clearly was.
We have the capacity technologically today to do this. Why not begin the process? Why hasn't it been started in some of the provincial jurisdictions, if they've done it in places like New Zealand?
