Given that, I would say—just to put into historical context the sense of urgency I feel about getting a duty to document within the interim directive—that in 2006 a new government had been elected and had made a lot of noise about accountability and transparency in government. They had proposed at that time, or undertook once they were elected, to carry out that reform in a two-step process. They were going to bring in certain measures and did, and there were some independent officers of Parliament created, and there was some activity. Then the second step never came. In fact, things got significantly worse.
You're a non-partisan champion of access to information and someone with great knowledge of the kind of institutional inertia of government. Given that historical example, would you not say it is important, on some of these things that have been well researched and consulted on at various levels within Canada and internationally, that we get a number of those important changes done as soon as possible, so we don't end up in a situation such as I mentioned where the follow-through on the larger reform doesn't happen because the culture of government either takes over or changes, depending on how you want to characterize it?
