LAC is an organization totalling approximately 1,000 employees, which falls under the responsibility of the Minister of Canadian Heritage. It is the official home of the archival record of the Government of Canada (GC) and its institutions, the personnel records of former Canadian Armed Forces members and former public servants, and private archival donations of records from individuals and organizations of national significance. Given the importance of these records, LAC is often called upon to contribute to various projects of political and public impact. Recent examples include supporting the GC response to the LGBT Purge class action, providing records to claimants for the Federal Indian Day Schools class action, and providing records to support land claims.
