Yes. In terms of submissions, I have made a submission to the committee regarding the 18 recommendations. You will be receiving it once it's translated.
To pick up on one that Michel Drapeau spoke about on Monday, his suggestion was to have a right to go to court after one year. I do not think that's the way to go, because the courts don't move any more quickly, and they also have a backlog.
The real solution is that Parliament should be required to provide whatever amount of funding the Information Commissioner proposes annually, that the Auditor General and Parliamentary Budget Officer should assess and determine what is needed to ensure an effective and timely enforcement of the act, and that there should be effective training of public officials about how to uphold the right to know and the right of access.
That would solve many of the problems, because along with the penalties that I suggested, everyone would know you're going to get caught if you're breaking the law, and you're going to get penalized very soon. That would clean things up enormously.
