Does anyone know if destroying records like that violates any laws? I know every organization I've ever worked with has had clearly-defined policies around email and file retention for departed employees, but I'm not sure if that's to comply with specific regulations or if it's just a voluntary best practice. Does the Access to Information Act only apply to the federal government or also to provincial/municipal governments as well?
