I think we found, in looking at the types of proactive disclosure that are included in this bill and that do apply to ministers' offices and the Prime Minister's Office, that there is an alignment between the types of proactive disclosure that have been identified and information that we know is of interest. For example, the publication of briefing binders for deputy ministers and for ministers provides a level of information proactively that hasn't previously been available, and not only to requesters who are willing to pay their $5 and follow that process but to Canadians in general. We're hoping, through the proactive disclosure of these materials online in both official languages and accessible, that actually does offer much greater transparency than there is today.
