Absolutely nothing. I do not know why, but there real issue has been avoided. There is a lack of rigour in enforcing the current legislation. We should start by speaking to two people. The first is the clerk. Why has no directive been issued? The Access to Information Act is one of many laws in Canada. Why are different standards applied in the case of this act as compared to other acts covering areas such as pharmaceuticals, food, immigration or others?
What do we expect of our officials? Two weeks ago, I was staggered to read in the Hill Times that the commissioner's reports stated that the Privy Council, which is the Prime Minister's department, after all, the department that issues all government directives, had elicited no reaction from the clerk saying that something would be done to correct the situation. That was a recent case.
There is a lack of will, not at the political level, but at the administrative level.
