Chair, this is a very helpful draft, and it looks good to me. There is one tiny point, a minutia. At the end of the paragraph dealing with Mr. Togneri, it says “even if he was not duly discharged”. I'm wondering if “if” is the right word; maybe “even though he was not duly discharged”. Maybe that's an editorial change that could be made.
Chair, I think it's a very serious issue that the committee has been thwarted in its attempts to have the people appear who have the information that we believe will be helpful to our study on political interference in the Access to Information Act.
I think it's extremely troubling that Mr. Soudas isn't here. I think it's unfortunate that he's been told not to appear by his boss and by the government. I think we have to pursue this, and I believe the template you've provided will be very helpful to us when we decide on this matter on Tuesday.
Thank you, Chair.
