I can comment more specifically on the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada. As I already pointed out last year when we reviewed the main estimates, I indicated that if the office's budget was slashed even further, it would affect our ability to fulfill our mandate. I believe that is the case.
As for the system overall, ATI requests are rising and have risen dramatically. I know the minister said otherwise, but to my knowledge, there hasn't been any additional funding for access to information. Without any confirmation at this stage, what I have observed over the past year leads me to believe that access to information problems are definitely present at the RCMP, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Parks Canada. Administrative complaints over the last fiscal year have gone up by 8%. That's a reversal in the trend we saw in the three previous years, when we observed a decrease in complaints. Something is happening in the system. Once we have the data for 2012-13, which is not yet available, we will be in a better position to assess what's going on.
