I certainly hope so. I think a lot of factors come into how quickly a department can respond to access to information requests, primarily the complexity of the requests and whether or not they have to go through consultations with other departments. But having the fundamentals of good recordkeeping so you know what records you have, where they are, and what their business value is, I expect, will be a significant help in making better both access to information and protection of privacy in the Government of Canada.
