Well, don't get me wrong, but I'd be very happy to see a help desk at a provincial and even a municipal level too. A lot of it has to do with the vast array of records at the federal level and the fact that many of them don't have as concrete a relationship to a community as would provincial or municipal records. I think that in itself directs journalists away from taking a look at national issues when they're in one of the regions of the country. I think there's obviously far more focus on federal matters in the capital and in Montreal and Toronto, the larger business centres of the country.
