This sub-series is comprised of reports, briefings, memos, correspondence, marginalia, exempt staff comments and some print and clipping material. This group of files was named the "Issues" files in the minister's office; the descriptor "Blue" was added during organization of the material, since most of the sub-series' documents were originally filed in colour-coded blue files. These files are arranged in alphabetical order. They are very diverse in their nature. Some are very general (eg, "Aboriginal Business:, Quebec Research Stats"); others are more specific (eg, `RVP Industries", "Amertek", "EH-101" and "Northumberland Strait Crossing"); yet others deal broadly with departmental policies (egs, "Acquisition 2000", "Procurement", Sole Sourcing", "Frigates", "Louis St. Laurent", etc).

These files seemingly were deemed significant by the minister's own exempt staff, meriting special attention. They highlight significant expenditure areas, departmental operations, the government-private corporations link, problem areas in procurement, political aspects of procurement and disposal and significant government initiatives. Many files contain detailed policy/operational memos written by exempt staff.
