Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank the officials from the department. I don't want to ask you the political questions, and I know that's often difficult in this circumstance for you, but one of the commissioner's recommendations is that the Access to Information Act be amended to provide him with an advisory mandate on proposed legislative initiatives. It would strike me that that's sort of the kind of work you folks do in the department and for the minister. I'm wondering if you see this as sort of a departure from usual process, if you see any conflict between your roles and the roles of folks in the commissioner's office who might do a similar function, and if there are other places where the kind of work you do is duplicated or performed in other agencies or commissions.
