I will say there are a couple of things we used to do that we don't do any longer. We used to ask, under the act, for the process of responding to requests and how long those requests would stay in a deputy minister's office, or even a minister's office, before coming to us. It provided a little bit of accountability that way, shaming, if that was necessary. I think in journalism, in general, we often go away quietly when we don't get what we want. It's our fault. I think we ought to be telling the public a lot more about what we don't receive when we make a request.
