Thank you very much, and thank you to the witnesses. Before I get into my questioning, I would just note for the witnesses to feel free to send further information, including specific recommendations. I know that a number of them have been outlined here today.
I have a couple of yes-or-no questions to all three witnesses in fairly rapid succession.
The first question is, “Is an effective access to information system essential in a modern democracy?”
We'll start with Mr. Cutler.
