Thank you, Madam Chair.
It seems to me it's going to be incumbent on this committee to make specific recommendations to, in this case, the President of the Treasury Board regarding the Access to Information Act, and section 68.1 specifically, and whether the Information Commissioner, for example, has made specific recommendations in that regard, as have others before this committee. In order for the committee to determine how section 68.1 is being applied and what changes should be made, we should be reviewing the decisions that have been made, specifically with respect to these access to information requests.
I am obviously cognizant of the protections provided to the CBC, so I would recommend that these documents be viewed in camera to respect the protections that have been afforded to the CBC. But I do think it's necessary that the parliamentarians on this committee be provided access so that we can make specific recommendations that I believe would be in the public interest.
