Thank you very much, Chair.

Thanks, Minister, for coming before this committee.

I'm going to ask you the same questions I've asked every witness who has appeared before this committee. They are foundational questions.

First, do you believe that access to information and, specifically, an ATIP system are essential in a well-functioning democracy?

See context to find out what was said next.
