I suspect NDP-14 will be likewise ruled inadmissible. It would deal with one of the most contentious and abused sections of every access to information act across the land, which is the policy advice exception. Records that are less than five years old can be withheld if they are “advice” to government. You can imagine how many records would fall into that category.
What we've tried to do here is add a harms test to each of the categories to ensure it's not abused. Only when the government can show a harm would they be able to hide behind policy advice. Then we add a long list of material that still would be available—factual reports, statistical surveys, environmental impact statements—that nevertheless would be disclosable even if they might be deemed policy advice. This again is something that this committee has long sought.
