Bill Siksay at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Thank you, Chair.

Thank you for being here today, Minister.

I want to start with a couple of specific questions. You talked about how the Federal Accountability Act extended the coverage of the Access to Information Act. But one of the compromises in that discussion was around the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. The compromise was that it wouldn't become subject to ATI until there had been discussions with the provinces and two-thirds of the provinces had agreed to its inclusion. Can you update us as to whether these have taken place or whether the government is pursuing those conversations with the provinces?
