I'd like to propose that the wording of the motion be amended to delete the words “drawing on the work of the Information Commissioner Mr. John Reid and that,” and we would simply retain the balance of it. This is not suggested in any way from a motive of not wanting to introduce legislation to modernize the Access to Information Act. Obviously we think this is very important, and we intend to do it. As I said earlier, referring to one specific report could be interpreted as in fact limiting the scope of the legislation.
