Matthew Green at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I would like to continue along that line.

I would put to the committee that this particular and special nation-to-nation relationship provides a higher duty of care legally, quite frankly, than it does with the regular average citizen or non-citizen who might be applying to the government for bureaucratic information.

I'm wondering if you can talk about the first nations principles of ownership, control, access and possession—more commonly known as OCAP—and how federal access to information affects the ability of first nations to apply these principles in practice. Is that a legal or technical consideration that you all have to bring into play?
