We have no objection to government communications functions or ministerial staff knowing what information is going to be released under the access to information so that they can be prepared with house cards and Qs and As and so forth, as long as the process of doing that does not prejudice the requester by either delaying the answer going out or by changing the amount of censoring that's in the document and so forth. That process, I think, can flow without there being any exchange of identities and some departments do it very well.
Nous ne trouvons rien à redire à ce que les fonctions de communications gouvernementales ou le personnel ministériel sachent quels renseignements vont être divulgués en vertu de l'accès à l'information afin de leur permettre de préparer des fiches parlementaires, des Q et R, etc., tant que ce processus ne porte pas préjudice au demandeur en retardant la réponse ou en augmentant le degré de censure du document, etc.
