We actually had to implement an access to information office in our office. I know that other agents of Parliament had to do the same. Certainly CBC had to do the same, and Canada Post as well. So yes, they had to implement some infrastructure to respond to access to information.
You know, I think we have to look at it in the context of what the responsibilities of public institutions are. For instance, we all have reporting obligations under the Financial Administration Act for the way in which we expend public monies. Those are considered to be normal. I have a staff that deals with all of our financial responsibilities because it's considered to be a necessary obligation. It's the same for access to information, in my view, when one becomes subject.
If Parliament decides that this is something that is necessary, it's ultimately always up to the legislator to decide whether this is a necessary thing for public institutions or not.
