I agree completely with those comments. We oversee the public sector privacy legislation as well as access to information legislation. I think it works very effectively having those combined in one agency. That at least has been our experience. I think there are times when there's a need to balance the right to privacy with a public interest or need for transparency and openness. I think if the function is combined in one office, that can be done effectively.
For example, when I first started in business, things like expense accounts of public servants, in Ontario anyway, were considered for the most part to be private. That was their personal information. That's no longer the case. I think there's an understanding that even though there may be information with a name attached to it, an openness and transparency and accountability function overrides that. Employment contracts are similar in Ontario. We now treat employment contracts as something that, despite the fact that they are personal to an individual, should be in the public domain.
