I think that someone who has worked in law enforcement directly could answer that question better. But my understanding is that retention periods for law enforcement files are very long, up to 99 years.
The purpose of this provision is so that there is a justification of this warrantless demand. All of the warrants and production orders, as I've said, have a record of justification in the information to obtain that is filed in the court registry. The preservation demand is the only one of these eight powers for which there is no reporting mechanism. The same issue has been encountered under part VI, the wiretap part of the Criminal Code, with the interceptions in exceptional circumstances that were addressed in the Tse case. One of the shortcomings was the lack of reporting, and that was remedied by an amendment. So I think that is an obvious amendment for this provision.
