I'd like to add something. I think the use of government discretion often involves financial investments or financial matters. The Access to Information Act is important if you fall under the exercise of this government discretion. If the commissioner recommends an exemption—I don't have the wording with me, so I can't comment in detail—I think there's this principle on one side. On the other side, there is the principle that Marc-André highlighted, which is that third parties, which aren't just large multinationals, are required to do business with the government and disclose information in order to operate and do business in Canada, given the regulatory framework we have. That's why we need to respect this balance.
