Access to information analysts and coordinators really have a difficult time of it in the government, I would say. Between the requester, the senior officials within their own organization, all of the other areas that they have to get information from to respond to an access to information request, and the investigators in my office, it's not an easy task.
That being said, the secretariat did a survey--I believe it was last year, about 15 months ago--with the community and most of them indicated that they really liked their work. They liked the challenge of it. They liked the fact that they learned new things all the time, so it wasn't a negative survey of the community.
But there aren't enough of them. I think we should really.... If we had an integrated human resources strategy, we could staff from outside the government. This could be part of the retention, renewal, and recruitment of new public service recruits. I think we could definitely see an initiative there from the government to bolster those numbers.
