I appreciate the commissioner's remarks; they're in our own brief. The fact is that the previous commissioner had a different view of work product information, and this kind of uncertainty is not good for the Canadian economy. I believe it is incumbent on this House to make that clear, that work product information ought to be accessible to everyone for the benefit of improving and innovating products and services in this country. It's the uncertainty that is unproductive.
I know everyone is well meaning; we're not in any way saying otherwise. But we are saying that this question is important enough that it should be clarified in law such that all companies and individuals in Canada have the certainty that this information--work product information only--will be accessible.
