Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, for being here today. Your presence is greatly appreciated.
I have no doubt that your staff worked very hard to provide you with all the necessary information. I would like to thank them for being here and for supporting you in this process.
Unlike Mr. Généreux, I would say the platform was clear; it did indeed mention the order-making process. I can read out what the platform says.
It said that we would expand the role of the Information Commissioner, giving them the power to issue binding orders for disclosure. This was public. It was there. So I have no concerns. Canadians read our platform, and they made a clear decision on October 19.
You announced a very clear direction this morning, and we appreciate that, of course. I would like to hear more about this direction and the extent to which it will support quick access to information.
