Why do we have to go through another layer of bureaucracy before we get information? We are, as a committee, parliamentarians, and we need to be able to ask the body that sits there to provide us with information. So I'm not convinced whatsoever that this is the reason, to be honest with you, because really that doesn't give us.... There are no details in there giving us any power to request information that is vital to what we do, and taking it away from the PBO is like taking a very important element from PBO that enables them to do their job properly.
