No, no. I do not meet with the minister personally. I am involved in meetings from time to time, but I do not have occasion to speak to the minister as part of my day-to-day activities. I assume my responsibilities as director general within the office. I am responsible for access to information, the parliamentary unit, ministerial correspondence—not only that of Mr. MacKay, but also the correspondence of the secretary of state, the parliamentary secretary and the deputy minister—and of a unit that prepares all the briefing books used by the minister when he travels, when he appears before parliamentary committees, and so on. So I'm responsible for not just for access to information, but for a whole range of matters.
