I think the recommendation you're speaking about was made by the former commissioner, Mr. Reid, and not by Mr. Marleau. On the subject of solicitor-client privilege, the laws in the provinces vary. Actually, there's a case now before the Supreme Court in which the issue of the relationship between public interest and the application of solicitor-client privilege faces the court, from the Ontario legislation on access. Obviously the decision of the court will bear influence on the laws across the country.
