Thank you.
Still sticking with the issue of cost—and actually, I agreed when the minister was here with some of the minister's concerns about access to information, based on my previous experiences, and especially as regards security matters and information coming from other countries—I have a real concern in the cost area about the smaller aspects of access to information; that is, that cost is a prohibiting factor for ordinary citizens, and even MPs' offices sometimes, preventing them from gaining the information through access to information.
Does your office do any analysis of either better ways of accessing the information that are less costly...? The example I'm using is that we required some information on a case through the CFIA, and it was going to cost us $1,600 just to get that information. This was just to try to make an argument that there are better ways of doing inspections of security than was currently the case. That $1,600 is a prohibitive factor for our continuing that access request. How can ordinary citizens or MPs deal with that question, and do you see it as a problem?
