Thanks very much.
With respect to the timeline, I understand we have an interim directive as of today. We are looking at a first phase of review, and the ministry has identified certain changes within your mandate letter, but you are open to other changes. Then, in 2018, there is going to be a larger consultation process that comes to fruition.
I am a backbencher, and I am very happy to see this government empower committees. I share Mr. Blaikie's concern about acting as quickly as possible on the duty to document and some other items that are in Ms. Legault's report. We are going to get a report from this committee out in June. Ideally, we are going to talk about the duty to document, extension rules requested by departments, and extending the Access to Information Act to other bodies, not just the ministers' offices and the Prime Minister's office, but also to publicly funded bodies. Ms. Legault has proposed changes in that regard, with a threshold of $5 million of funding or over 50% of funding. We will also make proposals with respect to exclusions or exemptions, sanctions, and the duty to report destruction.
The more we put into that June report, the more I would like to see in that initial phase of changes. I wonder if you could comment on that. Are you looking for around-the-edges changes in proposals to the first phase that you have identified, the changes you have already identified? How much can we pack into that first phase to actually get this done within our mandate?
