I'm certainly not, by using this example, prejudicing the outcome of our report. We'll weigh all of the evidence we've heard from a variety of witnesses.
For example, Professor Drapeau made, in my view, a very compelling presentation to this committee. Among other things, he suggested...well, he didn't suggest, he said quite explicitly that the existing ombudsman model for access to information is the correct model. In his opinion, the failings and shortcomings of access to information owed more to misallocation of resources within the office and a pervasive culture of secrecy within government departments. It transcends all governments and goes back decades.
Were we to support that, for example, and recommend retaining the ombudsman model, you have already said in your budget that this is not what you're going to do. So how much weight will this committee carry when you make your decisions?
