Good afternoon, Mr. Wright.
You said you're satisfied with section 24 of the Access to Information Act, as well as the proposed clause 18.1. You admit that commercial information must be protected because it is invaluable to your clients, that you're doing business outside Canada, and so on.
EDC can conduct a transaction with the United States, and we know that the U.S. has its own legislation. I can obtain information on you through the U.S. legislation. I can get insurance information and commercial information. I do it regularly myself.
In what way do you think section 24 is strong enough? I'm trying to understand. Having worked in this field, I know that, if I want to get information from you, I don't ask you, but rather the client, who is subject to other legislation. I get the information. How am I to interpret the fact that you accept section 24?
