Thank you, Mr. Weiler.
I just have one more question.
Mr. Burns, at DFO offices in my region in Atlantic Canada and elsewhere in Canada, fishermen can just go, call or knock on doors and sometimes have a meeting with officials. A woman who was working at a lower level in one of those offices called me. What she told me was very disturbing. She said that if I wanted to meet with her and get information on a particular project, or whatever I wanted, she needed to sign a document, ask if she could meet with me and then report back what was said in that meeting. I'm an elected official. She said she needs to sign a form and everything. My first comment to her was this: “Are we in Russia here or what?”
Does such a document exist? What she told me is that this doesn't come from a minister or a government decision. It comes from the higher deputy levels at 200 Kent Street. They need to sign a form that says which MP they met with and what the purpose of the meeting was, and then report that back to the deputy minister's office.
Does such a document exist, yes or no?
