Library and Archives Caucus

The Library and Archives Caucus (French: Caucus des bibliothèques et archives), also known as the LAC Caucus, is a parliamentary group in the House of Commons which consists of members who advocate for the protection of ATIP rights. The group has no formal leader, but Ziad Saffar currently acts as the caucus' spokesperson.
== Formation of the LAC Caucus ==
The LAC Caucus was formed in January of 2023 by several Library and Archives workers who recognized the importance of the rights of Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) workers and the importance of Library and Archives in all Parliamentary functions. Notably, they did not announce the formation of a new political party, rather, they announced the formation of an interparliamentary caucus open to MPs from all parties.
Two MPs announced their support for the LAC caucus and formally joined. Mississauga East—Cooksville MP Ryan Chang and Burnaby North—Seymour MP Ziad Saffar, both members of the Taylor Party, agreed to represent the caucus throughout MPSP2023 with Chang becoming the official spokesperson of the caucus. Following the collapse of the Guide-Seal-Taylor (GST) coalition government, Chang joined the Birthday Party's government to represent the caucus in government whereas Saffar resigned to sit as an Independent for the remainder of the sitting.
== MPSP2024 ==
Upon announcing the 2023 general election, the LAC caucus announced that several candidates across several parties would contest. This led to six LAC caucus candidates being successfully elected. Chang was re-elected to Mississauga East—Cooksville and Saffar opted to stand for election in the riding of Halifax, where he was duly elected. Four other candidates were successfully elected: West Nova MP Eve Thibeault, Kenora MP Ethan Stitt, Mission–Matsqui–Fraser Canyon MP Tro Boyadjian, and Nunavut MP Hannah Kurosu. All six were elected as members of the Big Tent Party.
Recognizing the need to increase the importance of ATIP rights, party leader and leader of the opposition Mica Oestreich appointed all six MPs as shadow ministers within the opposition. The caucus criticized the O'Barbie government for its inability to address the issues within Library and Archives Canada and the Canadian ATIP system. Kurosu and Stitt, in particular, openly questioned the government's lack of policies regarding overall government services.
The caucus reached it's peak upon the fall of the O'Barbie government, as now-Prime Minister Mica Oestreich appointed all six MPs as ministers. Kurosu as Minister for Water Types and Oceans and Minister for Territorial Affairs (Ice-Types), Stitt as Minister for Big Royalty and Minister for Redditt, Saffar as Minister of Sports and Pokémon Battles, Chang as Minister for "I Can Fix Him" and Minister for Anti-BoneMuncher Activity, Thibeault as Minister for Franco-Atlantic Affairs (Rock and Water-Types) and Boyadjian as Minister for Anglo-Prairies and Anglo-Pacific Affairs (Bug, Ground and Grass-Types).
Despite controlling multiple ministries, the Big Tent government began to drift away from ATIP rights and protection policies. Chang, Boyadjian and Stitt opened talks with the PPPPPPP Party and reached an agreement to continue the protection of the ATIP rights and the good vibes of Library and Archives Canada. Thibeault, Stitt, Kurosu, Chang and Boyadjian resigned their ministries during the second sitting day and jointly crossed the floor to the PPPPPPP Party. Saffar later also resigned from the government but crossed the floor to the Suits Party, he would later cross again to the PPPPPPP Party. 
Shortly after the formation of the PPPPPPP government, it had been confirmed that Drake had been kidnapped in retaliation to Canada's involvement in the Gertalian Conflict. During debate, Thibeault and Saffar were able to confirm that the abduction had been conducted by New Frenglish agents. The information presented proved the effectiveness of ATIP and LAC representation, which led to Essex MP Alaina Brunone and Saanich—Gulf Islands MP Martha Capener officially supporting the caucus but not officially joining it.
As of the adjournment of the MPSP 2024 sitting days, Thibeault, Stitt, Boyadjian and Kurosu remain members of the PPPPPPP Party with Saffar crossing back to the Suits Party. Chang was granted the Right Honouable title by Prime Minister Carson Baker, therefore mandating his status as a permanent Independent within the Right Honourable Caucus. Upon this announcement, Chang also announced he would resign as the caucus' spokesperson but would remain a member of the LAC caucus. MP Saffar was appointed as the de-facto caucus leader and spokesperson following Chang's departure.
