Mr. Speaker, the member knows well that it is the public service that makes the decisions in respect of the release of the information.
We know that under the prior government, it had the CAIRS program, which in fact was a mechanism to manipulate the release of information.
This government got rid of the political interference in the release of information. Furthermore, this government opened up the crown corporations. The CBC, the Wheat Board and others are now directly accountable to the people who pay the bill, the taxpayers.
