Yes, I absolutely do. I am in favour of taping them. What possible reason could there be not to do it? If everything is being done according to the way it should be, why would anyone want to hide behind a wall of secrecy with respect to taping? Many of us record our meetings. When you have a court proceeding, everything is recorded. It makes sense.
Not only that, but all of these notes, internal conversations and any recordings or transcripts of interviews should be given to the applicant as a matter of course. You shouldn't have to do an access to information request in order to get information about your own personal file.
