A "permanent retention period" is indicative of the enduring value of the information. Records given the designation of being permanent are retained because they have continuing and enduring value and also have been identified as having historic or archival importance. Other attributes in determining retention are operational, administrative, legal, financial, research and archival value(s).
It is within our mandate to ensure the we manage information, regardless of its medium or format, to ensure its authenticity, accuracy, integrity, clarity, and completeness for as long as the information is required, to ensure the continuity of key services and business operations and to ensure that we have records of decisions and decision-making processes throughout the evolution of policies, programs, and service delivery.
