It would be based on what Library and Archives, the archivists.... Each institution has to have a disposition authority. We all have to have retention and disposition authorities for our information holdings.
To give you a very simple example, in my office, because we do investigations, we have some investigations where our retention requirements are two years. We have some that are investigations of enduring value that we have to send to Library and Archives. This has to be done with the archivists. It's not something that institutions decide themselves. They have to get this retention and disposition authority from the Archives. That's the way that is settled.
The declassification is really based on the Bronskill decision in the Federal Court where the judge, in the context of the Tommy Douglas file, recommended that the government look into this so when files are sent to Library and Archives, they're at least...sometimes these files contain human sources, and those need to be protected forever. That's fine, but there's a lot of historical information in there that is of real value for Canadians, historians, and they should be declassified.
These files should be sent in a form where my office doesn't spend a lot of time investigating. They should be in a format that is ready to be disclosed to the public. This is something you might want to hear from the librarian because I think Dr. Berthiaume might have a few thoughts on that. My office and his office have a lot of investigative files together, and it's something we should declassify for Canadians for historical value.
