Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I read your presentation and heard your remarks, Mr. Drapeau. I also listened to what Mr. Conacher had to say. I find the presentations interesting.
Subsection 2(1) of the act reads as follows:
2.(1) The purpose of this Act is to extend the present laws of Canada to provide a right of access to information in records under the control of a government institution in accordance with the principles that government information should be available to the public [...]
There must be a purpose to whatever is stated in legislation. That is an important principle that is regularly mentioned by the Supreme Court. Based on your text, and Mr. Conacher's remarks, I would like to know whether it is a shortcut to say that government employees are causing the problem. Whether the Liberals or the Conservatives are in power, there is always someone causing a problem somewhere, and people have to wait two years to get a response to their request. It is all about political will.
