Understood. We don't want to put you on the spot, but it is a matter of some interest to us, because we feel strongly that access to information is important for a functioning democracy.
I note prior testimony that related to President Obama's unusual and commendable move on his first full day in office to change the default attitude in the United States towards freedom of information. He shifted the burden: instead of releasing information only when it can be proved that it's required, information in the U.S. will now be released unless it can be proved that it should not be disclosed. I'm trying to get a sense of whether we are still in the situation previously in effect in the U.S. I'm unsure about whether one can make that conclusion. We would certainly love to see this government adopt a more positive attitude toward disclosure.
Can you comment on this?
