The Archives and Recordkeeping Act, 2006 provides no punishment when it is contravened.
This opportunity to evade responsibility by the government was obviously taken advantage of by dishonourable and self-serving politicians who ordered the complete deletion of governmental e-mails for the purpose of destroying irrefutable evidence. These e-mails could have helped in the identification of the politician/s who are responsible for the cancellation of two advanced stage projects that cost the provincial taxpayers nearly $1 billion (an amount equal to the cost of building 2 new hospitals). The cancellation of these projects was done just to secure a few more seats in the Parliament for the party in power.
We all share a common interest in preventing politicians from evading responsibility and liability through deliberately created ineffective regulations.
If you are a former or active legal professional who would be able to help us with the drafting of an amendment to the Archives and Recordkeeping Act, 2006, please contact us via this e-maill:

We, Canadians for Integrity, take public interests and the conduct of inept, unethical, immoral, dishonest, and self-serving politicians very seriously. Such dishonourable politicians in the government harm all of us: elderly, children, women, and men.
