Mr. Chairman, if the applicant is asking for a specific document to be created and the document doesn't exist, that is what this provision deals with. It doesn't deal with a document that already exists. In any case, there is another provision that says if it is deemed in the public interest, that document could be produced. So, there is some provision to allow for the creation of a new record, but it also attempts to give us some protection from requests that would have us working to create documents that don't exist.
