Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses here with us today for their statements and their expertise.
In all my time as an MP, I have rarely seen a bill so roundly criticized by everyone. Our committee has to conduct its examination, but everyone who has spoken on the bill is practically asking us to reformulate it.
In your opinion, what are the main changes we should make, in order to ensure that we aren't taking a step backwards with this bill? Rather than taking a step forward to improve access to information for all Canadians, we all get the sense that we are moving backwards. We want to go forward, and we don't want the status quo, but there will have to be some good recommendations.
You can all answer in turn.
