Thank you for that. I think that needed to be said.
You mentioned the freeze across government. I don't have any great concerns about the freeze, other than the fact that one department hasn't 't been frozen, and that is the Privy Council Office and PMO. Their budget is increasing. Yet we see agencies such as yours that do a tremendous public good and are not communications or propaganda machines, etc., but providing information and dealing with complaints from the public, who are trying to really find out what's going on within government, and yet you're frozen as compared with the Privy Council Office. I think that's a concern as well.
Do you think this salary freeze, which you did mention in your remarks, is going to have any impact on your ability to do your job? Second, given that we currently have a government that is highly secretive and a Prime Minister who avoids the media with a passion unless it's set up, do you find there are more requests under access to information from the media to get information?
It's as if one is working against the other: you have a more secretive government and therefore you are going to have more requests under access to information. I don't know whether these requests are all leading to complaints or not. Are there any?
