Time is short, and I know that you're about to make your departure, but you spoke earlier to respect for this committee's recommendations, most of which you've ignored from a year ago and which are before us again. I suspect they will be in our response after committee study.
You also spoke positively of your commitment to open government. This committee recommended a year ago that, in the first phase of the reform of the Access to Information Act, the act be amended to include a general public interest override applicable to all non-mandatory exemptions with a requirement to consider the following non-exhaustive list of factors: open government objectives with environmental, health, or public safety implications, and information that reveals human rights abuses or would safeguard the right of life, liberty, or the security of the person. That recommendation, like so many others, was ignored.
