Good afternoon and welcome, Commissioner.
I am going to start by asking you some questions about a motion my colleague Ms. Freeman, the member for Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, presented at the committee on February 11.
I will read it to you:
That the Committee recommend that the Government introduce in the House, by March 31, 2009, a new, stronger and more modern Access to Information Act, drawing on the work of the Information Commissioner John Reid, and that, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee Chair promptly report the adoption of this motion to the House.
I would like you to comment on this motion and tell me whether you think it will make it possible to get an updated Access to Information Act.
