I think all members can share some pride in the achievement of the Federal Accountability Act. In a committee room, not so different from this one, members of all parties worked on the Accountability Act. They helped to institute it, pass it, amend it, approve it, and send it to the Senate, where it passed. I think in the end, the Accountability Act was unanimous. I would like to acknowledge the good work of people like Pat Martin, the late Benoît Sauvageau, and others, who all made valuable contributions to passing it.
It has been recognized by the leading experts as the most important change to the Access to Information Act since 1983. Given that we have been discussing the Access to Information Act, Mr. Chair, I think it would be appropriate to acknowledge the importance of the Accountability Act to ATIP. Thus, I call on my distinguished colleagues here today to join me in supporting this motion.

Does everyone understand the motion by Mr. Poilievre? Are you ready for the question?
Would you like a recorded division, or are we just going to do it by hands?
