Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fourth report of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics in relation to its study of the access to information request for the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade internal report entitled, “Afghanistan 2006: Good Governance, Democratic Development and Human Rights”.
There are a number of recommendations in this report, the most significant of which is that the government introduce a new Access to Information Act.
Pursuant to Standing Order 109 the committee also requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
