Quite frankly, until I received the invitation to the committee and I was able to look at the exchanges with other witnesses, I really wasn't aware of that aspect of the Canadian Access to Information Act, and it's not consistent with Canadian practice generally. There's no limitation in New Brunswick with respect to who may apply. There's no limitation for citizens only. I don't think that extending or implementing that particular recommendation of Mr. Marleau's would have any sort of impact.
