I don't think so. With 78,000, the public is not abusing it on a daily basis. The fees in fact are cumbersome. The U.S. and the U.K., among others, don't have those. Fees prevent one from submitting a request electronically because you have to send a cheque. Most people today, the young people I speak to, don't have a chequebook, but a debit card or credit cards. So they have to go to a post office, whatever it's called, to pay the fees. It's a pain. If we look at the money that we spend, I think it's something like $35 million a year to administer the program and we only get fragments of that through fees. The Harris government in Ontario—I know you're not proposing that—increased the fees to $25. It has had a diminishing, inhibiting effect on the system. My point is to get rid of the fees so that people in fact do exercise the right. I apply under the U.S. and U.K. system via my Internet in the office and I get a response back within 48 hours, because I don't have to submit the fees and the whole thing is done electronically.
