I listened to Professor Drapeau's testimony with interest and this particular recommendation that he made to the committee. For my own part, I would say we would disagree with the idea of turning access to information coordinators into political appointees. I understand Professor Drapeau's point that access to information coordinators need more power and authority. I would also say they need more independence from the system, but I do not think that his cause is served by essentially making them political appointees.
