The question was particularly about whether it would reduce the workload. The reality is that, whether it is a formal Access to Information Act request or something to be published on the departmental website as a result of proactive disclosure, the ATIP divisions are always asked to review the information to ensure that there is no information there that could prove injurious if released—injurious to the government, to the national interests, or to individuals. Are there cabinet confidences included? Is there solicitor-client information? Is there any vendor, private, or commercial information? We would still be reviewing the information.
