As the president of Shared Services Canada, Madam Forand, were you aware that it was policy of some government departments to erase all electronic information when a person leaves and only keep electronic information for 30 days at any time? This was news to me, and I've been around here a long time.

Is that your understanding, that it's common practice in other government departments?
