Thank you. I think I have my answer there. So the jurisdiction for protecting that information or managing it is with the department, not the archivist. I am seeing a positive sign to that question. That's all, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Could I just ask one question about whether there is any plan to...Government has a lot of documents and we spend, actually, hundreds of thousands of dollars in storing those documents, but we have technology available to scan documents. I know even land titles were documents which is quite crucial that they are kept. It talks about people's properties. Even those were scanned. Is there any plan? Does this legislation foresee a future and the possibility of professionally scanning these documents so we could store the information but not take as much physical space? Would that be something the archivist would be looking into or the office or this legislation? Thank you.

Yes, this actually does address that concern of yours. It's a concern with us as well. Basically we can establish through regulation standards by which archival records must be...If they were digital, we would be establishing standards to ensure that they would be available over time.

But is there any plan to convert some of those hard paper documents that we have that we have to use a lot of space to store right now? Is there any plan to convert them into an electronic format?

Thank you, Ms. Lee. That's beyond the scope of the act...the bill. It's beyond the scope. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Each department would be responsible for ensuring that their acts were maintained in proper format. Under this act, though, it would allow for standards to be set for how departments were maintaining their documents. But it isn't something that is dictated by the act. The act permits departments to act in certain ways with certain documents.
