moved for leave to introduce Bill C-361, an act to amend the Access to Information Act (crown corporations).
Madam Speaker, my bill will make all crown corporations subject to the Access to Information Act. These would be corporations like the post office and CMHC. At present, these corporations are exempt from access to information even though they are subsidized with tax dollars. This bill will open corporations to the public and make them more accountable to Canadians.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
