The other question I would like to ask is that this committee has been reviewing the 12 recommendations made by your federal counterpart, and we've noted in the report, Fallen Behind: Canada’s Access to Information Act in the World Context, that you recommended opening this up to everyone, not just Canadian citizens and others with direct ties to Canada. Given that Canadian taxpayers fund this program—not users, but the Canadian taxpayers—do you think it's appropriate for a Canadian request to be given priority over requests made by foreign nationals who don't pay Canadian taxes and who don't cover the costs of their requests?
On March 11th, 2009. See this statement in context.
