I hope so, because their opinion on these matters is essential, Madam Chair.
We have the choice here. We are asking for certain information to be provided in the annual report that must be produced by the organization that manages the Court Challenges Program. Ms. Thomas said that information is already public, which is true. If someone wishes to do an exhaustive search of all the cases in question, however, that search would be significantly more difficult than if the information were readily available in the annual report of the organization in charge.
It is simply a question of transparency and ease of access to information. That is why a complete list would obviate the need for research should someone need full access to that information.
