Thanks very much, Chair, and thank you to the commissioners for coming and speaking with us today.
Commissioner Maynard, you mentioned two things that I think are key here. Those are the quasi-constitutional right of access to information and the legal obligation that it be fulfilled.
Certainly, as we've spoken about before, there was universal agreement from all who came and testified before this committee on the importance of access to information. Unfortunately, there was one outlier when it came to whether the government is doing its job, and that happened to be the then minister.
I believe you said in your opening statement that the government departments violate these rules “on a daily basis”. Can you expand on that a little?
