We heard from Professor Drapeau, from the University of Ottawa, who talked about the role of ATI coordinators, who deal with the bulk of the access to information demands within each department. He mentioned in his remarks here that ATI coordinators “need the status, independence, and authority” that would flow from a Governor in Council appointment. That was his recommendation. We have had other witnesses who have disagreed with Mr. Drapeau.
I would like to hear your thoughts on what an improved role for ATI coordinators could be.
