I call the meeting to order.
This is the 23rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. Our order of the day is our study on Access to Information Act reform and the 12 so-called “quick fixes” that were presented to us by the commissioner.
Our witnesses are Mr. Robert Marleau, Information Commissioner; Andrea Neill, assistant commissioner, complaints resolution and compliance; and Suzanne Legault, assistant commissioner for policy, communications, and operations.
Welcome back, Mr. Marleau, and welcome to your colleagues.
The committee, as you know, has been working through a similar exercise with the Privacy Commissioner. We think our approach has been useful and probably a good model, and we're going to try to follow that through. At this point, now that we've had witnesses and you have been able to follow the opinions and dialogue at committee, the committee would like to hear from you again, whether there's rebuttal, clarification, or concurrence, as the case may be, to ensure that the committee understands your perspective in the context of the witnesses' and the members' concerns that have been raised.
I understand that you would like to lead us through a little bit of a presentation, and I'm sure the committee members would also like to ask some questions, so please proceed.
