"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6108333\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The top priorities are definitely to reduce the backlog of complaints and to work with the complainants and the institutions to find solutions other than access to information. By this, I mean proactive disclosure.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6108334\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When I meet heads of institutions, I often ask whether they have a list of frequently requested access to information items and whether they take this into consideration in their publications. In some countries, when a document has been requested three times, it is automatically published on the institution's website.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6108335\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We have no such principle in Canada. I try to encourage the institutions to do this on their own. There is no need for a mandatory list. Those institutions that know which requests they receive frequently should disclose them proactively on their own.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6108336\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This would significantly reduce the workload for our very small access to information units. The number of access to information requests is incredible, and growing every year.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6108333\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les grandes priorit\u00e9s sont certainement de r\u00e9duire l'inventaire de plaintes et de travailler en collaboration avec les plaignants et les institutions pour trouver des solutions autres que l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information. Je parle de divulgation proactive.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6108334\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quand je rencontre les responsables des institutions, souvent, je demande s'ils ont une liste des demandes d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information qui reviennent souvent et s'ils tiennent compte de cela quand ils publient leurs documents. Il y a des pays o\u00f9, apr\u00e8s trois demandes, le document est automatiquement publi\u00e9 sur le site Internet de l'institution.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6108335\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On n'a pas ce genre de r\u00e8gle au Canada. J'essaie d'encourager les institutions \u00e0 le faire elles-m\u00eames. Il n'est pas n\u00e9cessaire d'avoir une liste obligatoire. Les institutions qui connaissent d\u00e9j\u00e0 les demandes qu'elles re\u00e7oivent constamment devraient d'elles-m\u00eames en faire la divulgation proactive.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6108336\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela diminuerait \u00e9norm\u00e9ment le travail de nos unit\u00e9s d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information qui sont vraiment petites. Le nombre de demandes d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information est incroyable. Il augmente chaque ann\u00e9e.</p>"
