I don't know whether you'd say hypocrisy, but it's bifocal. Yes, they have this expertise within, just as most news organizations, from CBC to CTV to Global to Sun Media, all have research departments. Many political parties have them too, and many large corporations have them. By all means, CBC does, and CBC does an excellent job. And they inform us on a daily basis that this information was obtained under access.
So it's not as if they're new in the game or don't know the concept of it and its value as a democratic tool. They know that, but it's almost as if they come across saying “it doesn't apply to us”, because it never did until 2007. That's the difficulty they have with it.
