Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Commissioner.
You have a very important role. I confess that I was not very familiar with the Access to Information Act. I read a lot about it, and while going through your report, I was stunned to see that not much has actually changed since 1983. When you're in opposition, you make a lot of requests and try to be all virtuous, but once you're in government, all of a sudden you take the same political stance on access to information. It's like a game that happens from one term to the next, from one government to the next. Unless I'm mistaken, that's what I understood. I wondered what was causing that, structurally, and what could be done to counter it.
Supposedly, in each department, there is a person responsible for the access to information issue and, unless I'm mistaken, that person reports to the minister. If that person reported to you, do you think that would already be an improvement?
