Information & Ethics committee  Right.

Information & Ethics committee  What we've been doing is looking internationally to see how other freedom of information regimes work, or access to information, as it's known in Canada. Also, we're increasingly interested in issues around the online publication of information and proactive disclosure via the Internet.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  Absolutely. My apologies.

Information & Ethics committee  No, that's fine. My apologies for not being able to appear via video conference. What we've been doing at the unit is for the past few years we've been looking at the impact of the Freedom of Information Act in the U.K. We've spent two years looking at the impact of freedom of information on British central government, and we're now looking at both the impact on local government and also on the Westminster Parliament.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes. If I could, first I want to say thank you for inviting me. It's always a pleasure to appear before people of your stature, so thank you for that. I just want to tell you very briefly for about five minutes what we've been doing at University College London.
