Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for your presentations.
Recently, Mr. Loukidelis, the British Columbia commissioner, appeared before us and he described how, under the B.C. system, they make a distinction between commercial users and individual users of the access to information system in that province. I was wondering, Professor Drapeau, if you could comment on that possibility in the federal system? Mr. Marleau mentioned to us that a significant number of the major users of the federal system are what he would describe as data brokers who are accumulating information on behalf of their clients, for which they charge their clients a fee. And it seems to me that perhaps in those situations the taxpayers would be better served if there was a cost recovery of the cost to government in providing those services.
