Yes.
As the Information Commissioner has stated, and as concerns from this committee and debates from Parliament have suggested, the privacy of journalistic sources is important and should be protected. However, the CBC does receive public dollars. Unfortunately, it has used section 68.1, by its own interpretation, as a blanket exclusion for blocking access to information requests that have nothing to do with journalistic source protection and are more to do with administrative activities.
I do think there needs to be clarification within the act, and I think this will provide it, to bring the spirit of access to information, as described by the Information Commissioner so eloquently a few minutes ago, in line with how it is implemented.
