27.Subsection (2) requires authorities to assist the Keeper in carrying out records management reviews if requested to do so. This might include, for example, providing information or documents.

28.After carrying out a records management review, the Keeper may make recommendations to the authority and may require the authority to review its plan under section 5 (subsection (3)).
