I should tell you that I do have a bias. My bias is contained in the act. The bias is that all government information should be freely available, except those that are kept secret, but the secrecy is to be kept narrow and limited. That's my bias. My bias is to follow that order in the act. I will always, generally speaking, come down on the side of openness. I've had a lot of experience in government, having spent 20 years in the House of Commons and some time as a member of cabinet, and I understand the necessity for secrecy in a whole range of areas.
What I basically do in my office is I sit there and I read government files that are in dispute. I have a pretty good understanding of what can go and what shouldn't go, as does my office. That's one of the reasons why I'm happy I don't have the order-making power, because that would turn me into a judicial tribunal. I think the ombudsman role is very powerful, because it does protect these secrecy interests of the government, which are legitimate, so that those decisions are reached by a court of law and can be appealed.
