Look at the statistical information that's put out by the office about how many documents have been released over the past decade and a bit. The number of documents hasn't changed. About 10,000 pages have been released, and the number of requests has roughly stayed the same. There have been fewer questions the past couple years.
To your question about whether or not there has been.... I agree with you a hundred per cent that there have been far more documents. The information society we have produces more documents, but that hasn't really been reflected in the number of documents being produced or released at this time.
I'm not too sure what it is. I know there have been issues with WhatsApp discussions, text messages or what the information law captures. Those are other challenges, as well, that I don't think the current law fully gets at or is fully able to accept.
On the American side, far more individuals are available to undertake this level of discussion. They don't have to go to the line staff to do the redactions. There are individuals who are able to do that outside of the policy-making process.
