Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I might not use the total five minutes, because I think we've really gone into the reaction to the letter from the Minister of Justice and his reaction to the 11th report.
But I want to dig a little deeper on the last point you made, Mr. Marleau.
This era coming will be one of belt-tightening and deficit reduction, although the deficit has come back again. They're going to be scrambling for cost-saving measures. I wonder if there's any way to assess with any accuracy the total cost saving to government of full disclosure. Not just your office will need more money to do your job better in the current scenario, with the number of ATIP coordinators agonizing over complex requests for 6, 7, 10, 11 months sometimes, and the number of complaints put into your office.
If you took the total aggregate amount spent on labour in administering a program that doesn't work--just blue-skying it--how much could the government save by voluntarily posting all this information and letting the chips fall where they may? In the next federal election they could run as the first government to have the guts to be truly transparent. It seems like a pretty good platform to me.
