Gentlemen, thank you for being here today to share your expertise and your views. Thank you also for your interest in the committee's study on a more open federal government.
Since we started the discussions, we have heard a lot of comparisons with countries like Australia, the United States or Great Britain. But those are countries where only one language is spoken. In terms of opening up government, they do not have the major obstacle that Canada has with its two official languages. Those countries only use one language.
My first question goes to Mr. Wallace. When a member of the public asks you for a translation in an access to information request, how does it work? Do you give them the document in its original language? Does the city of Toronto translate it? If not, do people have to find a way of translating the document themselves?
