All right. I wanted to make that point because obviously the length of your answers is going to be important in terms of the amount of time we have with you this morning.
I want to make reference to a letter that you sent to the chair of the committee, dated April 29, in which you said, “Let me begin by assuring you that the Government is deeply committed to upholding the principles of the Access to Information Act”.
I want to go to that because I want to ask you, then, as the minister responsible for the act, are you aware of the provisions of section 67.1(1) of the act? It states that:
No person shall, with intent to deny a right of access under this Act,
(a) destroy...or alter a record;
(b) falsify...or make a false record;
(c) conceal a record; or
(d) direct, propose, counsel or cause any person in any manner to do anything mentioned...[above].
Are you familiar with that section of the act, Minister?
