In terms of the frivolous and vexatious clause, that's important because it was called for by this committee, and in fact by the Information Commissioner. I understand in her report she has suggestions as to ways we can strengthen that, and I'm open to those suggestions.
Let's be very clear. There are bad faith requests. Within the system there are some cases where people are requesting information on their ex-spouses who are public servants with regard to their work schedules, and that sort of thing. Those are bad faith requests.
This committee and the Information Commissioner have called for a frivolous and vexatious clause to help address those issues and to help take some of the gum out of the system for truly bad faith requests. Our government wants to ensure that this clause is not abused by departments and agencies, and we would be interested in the guidance of this committee, as well as that of the Information Commissioner, on how we can do that, including having her role strengthened in terms of the determination of what is or is not a bad faith request.
