Thank you for the question, Mr. Gourde.
When I referenced the five years to write an article, it was more so the five years of documented frustrations with the access act in terms of performing research on a single topic regarding COINTEL profiles in Canada. These were archives that I was trying to request from Library and Archives Canada, but I found myself having to go to the United States, to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., because they have a declassification system after 25 years.
This particular topic involves RCMP and FBI collaboration, so I found it very ironic that in order to do historical research on this era of Canadian history, I had to go to the United States to get the records, because in Canada, CSIS still considers them to be an operational threat.
