I thank you for the question, Mr. Tilson.
Through you, Mr. Chair, the statement I will make is that I will assess.... I have no predetermined plan for the commission. I don't assume that it absolutely requires one. In my experience in the privacy commission, and I don't mean to imply any kinds of difficulties I faced there, some of the smaller agencies have done things the same way for a long time. That's why I say I have a bias against the status quo. I want to look at how things are done, why they are done that way, and see if there are not efficiencies that we could extract, particularly on the issue of delays. This is the recurring theme in every Information Commissioner's report...and see how we could maybe accelerate some of the return, by changing the way investigations are done....
I don't have a structured plan. I've barely had time to evaluate the impact of Bill C-2 since it received agreement in the House just last Friday, after an exchange of messages with the Senate, but as I said, it will be my first priority.
