Thank you for that, Mr. Drapeau.
I guess if there's nothing in place now, I'm with you in thinking that it's going to take some time to get that done. However, budget 2016 allocated $12.9 million over five years, according to the number I have here, to implement a new access to information portal where Canadians could request information. This was the wording.
It also includes a 30-day deadline for requests of personal information. We had before us the immigration and defence departments. Both of those departments indicated the challenges that they were experiencing in keeping up with such requests.
Mr. Drapeau, you also indicated there was a large delay. In your personal experience, I believe you said the delay at the defence department is between six and seven years?
I guess we have about a minute. Would you all comment on this suggestion of having an information portal and the dollar amount of $12.9 million—again with the caveat that we don't really know how many more requests would come in if we opened up the system to outside Canadians as well. I'll stop there, and now you have about 30 seconds.
