I appreciate wanting to do a full consultation in 2018. I would just note that the Office of the Information Commissioner, obviously, did a fulsome consultation in advance of her recommendations. We are doing a consultation here, and Newfoundland, I would add, did a fulsome consultation before making their changes. I spoke to the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, and they claim that is the gold standard in Canada. I think we can already look to consultations that have occurred to make our changes.

Thanks very much, Minister.
