I am in agreement with you.
Further on in your report, you state:
The current government's proposals are every bit as much “a bureaucrat's dream“ as were those of the Chrétien government.
You then add:
There is no more eloquent testimonial to the power of the forces of secrecy in government that the radical change they have wrought, in a few short weeks, to the Prime Minister's election promises for access reform. In his role of Leader of the Opposition, Steven Harper ridiculed the Martin government's decision to release a discussion paper, rather than to introduce a bill to reform the Access to Information Act.
In conclusion, you state:
Also, the government proposes to keep secret forever all records relating to investigations of wrongdoing in government.
In your opinion, Bill C-2, which purports to be a bill on transparency and accountability, will deliver the completely opposite result if it is passed as it is presently drafted.
