I'll give—this may be a surprise to Mr. Angus—a very generous answer to your questions. It might, because the very records that you are asking....
No institution has the duty to create a record in response to an access request, so the records they have may contain hybrid information—some journalistic information, some information on programming. It may well be that CBC has purchased high-definition trucks for the purpose of covering some sports events, and in doing so they would be able to sell or lease their equipment for this purpose to other news. That information may be protected under programming. I have no difficulty with that.
What I have difficulty with is the CBC's becoming the judge for itself of what needs to be protected. It's too easy then to say that all of it falls under this particular scenario.
Let the Information Commissioner have a look at it. If it's wholly programming or journalism, it will be occluded; if it's hybrid, it will also be occluded. So be it.
My point is, the CBC has nothing to lose, except enhancing its credibility as someone respectfully applying the access to information law in response to requests from Canadians.
