Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I listened with interest to our guests' presentations.

The current bill targets CBC/Radio-Canada, pursuant to Schedule 1 of the Access to Information Act. But it does not deal with information or transparency in the Prime Minister's Office.

As you are making the case for transparency in spending public funds, let me ask you this very simple question. Given that we all are supposed to know how much Peter Mansbridge makes in a year, should we also not know how much Nigel Wright makes, or any other chief of staff in the Prime Minister's Office?
