Mr. Chairman, I think proactive disclosure is the wave of the future. I can report to this committee that my colleagues at the provincial and territorial level decided, in September of this year, to make proactive disclosure one of our priorities in terms of what we want to recommend to governments.
With regard to authorities or international examples, I would suggest that the Mexican model may not be the best one even though they do have a web-based system, because there are new pieces of legislation.
For example, I mentioned the Quebec legislation, which is new. They have a new publication scheme under which there are two key areas in addition to what exists now at the federal level, which is disclosure of requests and the responses. That would be a leap forward, I think, at the federal level. As well, I think having public institutions gather statistics that are of public interest would go a long way in a knowledge-based society.
So the system in Quebec is a good example. There have also been recent pieces of legislation in the U.K., in Scotland, in two jurisdictions where they have just implemented publication schemes that I am aware of.
