Mr. Chairman, since I brought the open government act to this committee, the big change has been that Judge Gomery has had an extensive look at it, and his report is very clear in supporting it. It's had a pretty good legal examination to make sure everything in there is doable. So his comments are pretty clear.
There's no question in my mind that the best way to proceed with legislation is to do it in the form of legislation, because then we can see precisely and exactly what the definitions are. No matter how you do a discussion document, there's always a certain amount of vagueness about it. It's only when you sit down and actually have to work out what these provisions are and how they are to work that you really come down to the nitty-gritty of what you can do and what you can't do, and what continues to be ambiguous and what is clear.
So I always prefer to see things done in a legislative format, particularly before committee. I think the frustration some feel today is the same frustration felt by the previous committee, and I think the answer to this frustration is to proceed the way the previous committee did proceed.
