The big difference is that Mr. Reid did not recommend any order-making power in any area. Mr. Marleau has only recommended it partially. I think it needs to go fully. But many of the other proposals and recommendations I made were addressed by the Reid bill, except for, again, the key one, which is to require routine disclosure. It's now viewed as a guide to keeping information secret, law and system, and it has to be changed to be viewed as a proactively open government law. And all the requirements need to be put in place to make that real.
