I believe that the parliamentary privilege of access is a different system. It should be treated differently. I think the Access to Information Act can be a good tool in that some of the exemptions deal with national security and what the test is in terms of releasing some of that information. It's the same thing for commercial information. It could be, again, a tool that could be used to determine whether information would be harmful, but at the end of the day, the act does not apply to a request made under parliamentary privilege. It's a completely different environment.
