This morning, I’m replacing my colleague René Villemure, who couldn’t be here. After a conversation with him, I have a few questions for you.
I understand your role. As the Information Commissioner, I imagine that you’ve had to work on redacting certain documents. I would like your opinion on that. For someone who is a bit of an outsider on this committee, it’s always surprising to see the quantity of words, of pages, when it’s not entire chapters, often redacted from government documents. I would like to hear what you have to say on this issue. In your opinion, is there currently too much redaction, or not enough? Should it be done differently?
What is your point of view on the redaction problem? It often deprives the general public and even parliamentarians of access to information that could be of significant interest.
