Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you very much as well, Ms. Legault.
What I understood from your opening comments is that you were explaining your limitations in terms of the investigations you carry out in order to access additional information covered by a certificate. You even said that, in terms of modernizing the legislation, this is one thing we may want to look at more closely. I would really like to get an idea of what is involved and understand the process.
When Mr. Brison made an initial request regarding the costs of 18 law-and order bills, he was told that he could not have any of that information because it was a Cabinet confidence. As citizens or as parliamentarians, how do we know whether the request regarding these costs really is subject to Cabinet confidentiality and that a certificate has been issued to that end? That is my first question.
My second question is as follows: do you not think that multiple refusals under the guise of Cabinet confidentiality could be a way of circumventing the Access to Information Act?
