Mr. Speaker, I move:
That pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement between the Speaker of the House of Commons and the National Archivist of Canada dated June 8, 1993, all documents presented to a committee of the House of Commons sitting in camera and any other documents so designated by the Speaker which have been or will be deposited in the National Archives of Canada for safekeeping, including any such records deposited prior to the date of the Memorandum of Agreement shall be identified as Secret Records;
That, Secret Records shall not be made available by the Archivist to any person for a period of thirty years from the close of the Parliamentary session in which the Secret Records were created, unless the House of Commons or one of its committees directs otherwise, and
That, twelve months before the expiry of the thirty year delay, the Archivist will inform the Speaker that unless the Speaker directs otherwise, the secret documents will be made public according to the terms of aforementioned Memorandum of Agreement.
I ask for unanimous consent for this motion.
(Motion agreed to.)
