Organization: Library and Archives Canada

Year: 2025

Month: January

Request Number: A-2024-09113

Request Summary: I am hereby making a formal demand upon Archives Canada to release Part 2 of the report prepared by the Honourable Justice Jules Deschenes in the1986 Deschenes Commission on War Criminals in Canada. We appreciate the fact that the first part of the Commission report has been made public and found that there existed Nazi war criminals living in Canada under false documentation formed in order to be received in the country. The second portion of the Commission report has never been released and we are informed that it contains the names of the alleged criminals which for an unknown reason it is clearly being kept secret. Consequently, we respectfully submit that Part 2 ofthe report must be declassified and allowed for public consultation without further delay.
