Well, I’m not a legal expert, so I don’t have the expertise required to comment on the matter, but allow me to point out that protecting the freedom of the press and applying the principle of fairness are two very important aspects in this type of decision. I was a journalist, and I know that there are expenses involved with journalistic activities that are not problematic when it comes to disclosure, whether it's where a press team went to conduct an interview or when the journalists went there. In short, these are things that may influence the confidence of these sources of information in these journalists. If they are afraid that their name will eventually be disclosed in an access to information process because they don't fully understand the act or simply don’t understand it at all, they may be afraid to disclose certain information to journalists.
