Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your presentations.

Mr. Worthy, I went through your paper, More Open but Not More Trusted? The Effect of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on the United Kingdom Central Government. You talk about how it has improved the quality of government decision-making and intended to increase public trust. Can you comment further on that? Your title kind of indicates that it hasn't meant more trust. Can you expand on the quality of government decision-making, and whether or not there has been more public trust in greater public participation?
