Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to follow along the lines of my previous colleague.
Mr. Wernick and Mr. LaPointe, you both mentioned that not only journalists access ATIP requests, but it could also be historians, researchers and individuals who are looking at legal cases. Canadians have lots of questions, not just about the issues of the day but about the historical issues of the past when they file for ATIP requests.
In August of this year, B'nai Brith put out a statement that it had submitted an ATIP request about Nazi war criminals who had potentially entered Canada and whose names had been reviewed under the Deschênes report commissioned in 1985. They put in an ATIP request for all of those names and the background information of that report. Their request was denied and deemed unreasonable because it would take an estimated 1,285 days, more than three and a half years, to answer the documentation of their request, so here we have a situation of historical record in archives.
Mr. Wernick or Mr. LaPointe, whoever would like to start, do you have any suggestions as to how we manage questions and requests like that, which are of a historical interest to communities or also potentially have legal ramifications?
