No, it's going to increase the number of requests. That's for sure.
The question is not what we're going to take away from Canadians. The act has to be reviewed as much as the system needs to be addressed. If you're going to give more information through access requests, you clearly need to have more people working in access units. If you're providing more information through portals like IRCC's, you will take those 200 analysts they're now hiring to do access requests and they will be available for other units.
What we need to give Canadians is what they're looking for. Is the information we're giving them what they're looking for? There's a lot of information out there that Canadians are not entitled to get—information in the offices of ministers, third party institutions, providers or contractors. That's a lot of information, so I think the scope of the act has to be increased.
