That gets to very complicated questions of file management and that sort of thing.
As a researcher, I would appreciate that. I think it would be very difficult, given the size of the organizations and the range of records. I don't have any easy fix for how this information would be managed. I could possibly give some greater thought to it, but there's no obvious way.
There are steps that have been taken. The declassification project that Public Safety has started has conducted a pilot study looking at a large batch of records from the 1950s and 1960s from the Canadian Joint Intelligence Committee. The officials involved in reviewing them determined that most of those records could be released. However, the departments that own those records are still trying to figure out what they're going to do with them. They are not yet ready to accept those kinds of recommendations. They still have this culture of secrecy, of overprotection for records that really are no longer as sensitive as they might have been at one time.
