I guess I would ask you why people who are not Canadians should have less of a right to information that may impact them. It's interesting that one of the reasons we ended up getting freedom of information legislation in this country was because Canadians were able to use the United States Freedom of Information Act to request information that related to Canada from the American government. It seems somewhat unfair that we have a law that does not allow Americans to do the same thing. In fact, I get requests from American journalists who are looking to file freedom of information requests in Canada, because they cannot do so, even for an issue that relates to their jurisdiction. I would just ask us to think about the fairness of not opening up the access to information system.
