Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
You said, “Without additional funding, I will no longer be able to carry out my mandate responsibly and ensure full respect of Canadians' rights of access to information.” Those are the words of the Information Commissioner when Harper was in power and Pierre Poilievre was the minister responsible for safeguarding our democracy.
Do you worry that receiving ample resources in the years forward, or not receiving them, is going to hurt how your office effectively functions?
