I received an access to information request for my notebook when I first became Information Commissioner and I tend to doodle quite a lot, and there was a really nice drawing of a horse, I remember, and it's fine. It just gets disclosed. I don't mind.
People just have to grow into this culture of disclosure at a certain point and if there are references in my notes about specific files and they are subject to confidentiality requirements under the act, they get processed like that by the ATIP folks. Notes of conversation with my general counsel can be protected under solicitor-client privilege. If there is personal information because I'm dealing with a labour relations issue, then that gets protected as well. That's the way your notes would be treated, the same as any other record.
