I agree with regard to the Access to Information Act.
With regard to the five-day period, honestly, I've experienced this before in another committee where we requested documents and where the same senior official promised us that we could have them within the proposed time frame and then, in the end, it took three or four times as long. The deadline isn't binding, but I don't think it is a bad idea to set one, whatever it may be. Honestly, I don't expect that we will actually get the documents within five days, but I think giving a time frame is a way of indicating that we want to move quickly.
As for the Access to Information Act, I agree.
Mr. Chair, I am therefore moving an amendment to the amendment to remove “as soon as possible” and keep “the Access to Information Act”.
