Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Lacroix, for a very thorough presentation.
As you know, yesterday the Federal Court of Appeal ruled on CBC's decision or desire not to share certain information with the Information Commissioner. We take great pride in the role of the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner has a specific task to represent Canadians and to assure accountability, so when the iIformation Commissioner raises a red flag, I think as parliamentarians we have to be very serious about what that red flag means.
We were certainly concerned in our caucus about this committee interfering with the role of the Federal Court, but we believe that the CBC had a right to go to the Federal Court of Appeal, and the Federal Court of Appeal has rendered its decision. The very straight-up question for us is that now that the Federal Court of Appeal has made a decision, are you willing to work with the Information Commissioner, to get this issue behind us?
