That's not part of my mandate. It's the government that should take on this project. But I would say that there are definitely needs in that respect. Several institutional coordinators carried out a study in collaboration with the Treasury Board. They looked at the possibility of professionalizing access to information analysts and creating an agency. I don't know what's happening with that project, but it certainly deserves funding.
This agency would provide training and create a pool of staff who could go work in different departments. The idea is that the departments could share this staff. When the rail accident happened, Transport Canada was inundated with access to information requests, but it didn't have the capacity to handle them all. In those kinds of situations, analysts could be deployed to the various institutions.
The end goal would be to have a central agency to help all institutions handle access to information requests. The agency could train and hire staff. I could contribute by providing guidelines and explaining our processes, to make everyone is on the same page.
