Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I join my colleagues in welcoming you here this morning, Mr. Giorno. It's good to have you here.
I appreciate the history you gave us in terms of what our government has done with the Federal Accountability Act in pursuing the creation of a unique cultural accountability by strengthening access to information. I also appreciate the fact that my colleague reflected on the improvements we have made in the last number of years. I think it's always important to take a look at a report within the context of other reports that have gone before it, so I appreciate knowing that we have had tremendous success in the areas of access to information.
Another thing I appreciated hearing from you was that you've experienced these issues on both sides, both from the perspective of a requester as well as someone who is now responsible for ensuring that our government is complying with legislation.
Could you tell me a little more about your previous law practice, and what if any relevant experience you had with respect to lobbying laws?
