moved for leave to introduce Bill C-309, an act to amend the Access to Information Act (disclosure of results of public opinion polls).
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to introduce the bill on behalf of the member for Red Deer. This bill, an act to amend the Access to Information Act, which calls for the disclosure of results of public opinion polls, is a very important bill. It is important because it will demonstrate the commitment of Parliament to open government based on principles of accountability and transparency.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
