Access to information has always been important to me over the last 15 years as a public servant. I don't know if any of us around the table have taken a good hard look--maybe we have, but I know I haven't--at what the commissioner had put forward. Maybe there are things we should be recommending if we're not getting what the committee had recommended and sent to the House. Maybe we should be putting forward some recommendations from that piece, saying here are some positive things for improvement of access to information. We have had delegations on that issue in the past talking about things such as people being identified whether they were from the media or from government or from wherever, and if we have issues with that, we need to discuss those. There is a variety of opinion on that.
I'm particularly concerned with timing and how long it takes to get a piece of information back. If it doesn't hurt the government, I don't know why....
I have five more minutes. Thanks, Jim.
I don't know why it would take so long to get that kind of information. I think we should continue to respect the deadline that we and the House of Commons previously supported, and I don't think writing a letter is going to do anything more or less, so I'm prepared to not support this and respect the previous decision of this committee.
