Okay.
Since the coming into force of the act in 1983, there have been several reviews. We'll provide that to the committee.
In 2006 the previous government, when they came into power in 2006, had promised to implement all of the recommendations of Commissioner Reid, who had actually worked with the previous committee and had produced the open government act, which incorporated a whole series of amendments.
The government in 2006 actually passed legislation in the Federal Accountability Act. That legislation contained a subset of some of those recommendations. It increased the coverage of the act to a lot of the crown corporations—CBC, Canada Post, Via Rail—and agents of Parliament, including my office and the office of all the commissioners, except for the Ethics Commissioner. The other commissioners are now subject to the Access to Information Act. That was part of that reform.
As part of that reform as well, there were some very specific either exemptions or exclusions that applied to all of those entities. I talk about that in the recommendations. That was done, and there was also a duty to assist put into the legislation.
Aside from that, in the history of the act, there was one other significant amendment, and I think it was in 1999. That's when the criminal offence was put in. That's section 67.1 in the act, and that flowed from a private member's bill. In terms of looking at other coverage, in terms of looking at the exemptions, in terms of looking at the timeliness, in terms of looking at the order-making power....
The other thing that really was not part of the 2006 discussion at the very least, and reform, was how do we modernize the act in the context of open government, open government by default. That's fairly new, actually.
