Thank you.
You don't have to convince me of the need for ATI reform. I have taught courses on this act and I was struck when I read in a book that while all democracies bragged about having ATI legislation, as soon as legislation was adopted, the government did everything it could to restrict the application of the act. It would appear that this universal rule also applies to Canada.
I have some specific questions. I don't want you to think that I question whether many of your proposed reforms should be introduced. One in particular intrigues me. You recommend—and in this respect you agree with Mr. Marleau's seventh recommendation—that the application of the act be extended to cover records related to the administration of the courts.
To my knowledge, everything, or almost everything, related to justice matters is in the public domain in Canada. Is there anything that is not public that you would like to see become so?
