Thank you.
That's exactly what you do. You bring facts to light and conduct in-depth investigations that are completely independent of any political influence. Obviously, there's always an opinion in news reports. However, it is important to report the facts so that we here can judge them.
You said you've been following a lot of the work of this committee. We heard from the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, the Information Commissioner of Canada and the Commissioner of Lobbying. They all told us that their offices were underfunded and that they did not have enough resources to enforce the regulations. In the case of access to information requests, it was often complicated to get the information, and requests were ignored.
We have provided institutions with safeguards, but they ignore them or they don't have enough power to really regulate situations and restore public trust in our institutions.
Do you see that as a problem in Canada's federal policy?
