Information & Ethics committee  I would add one more thing. We also have requesters who obtain information from us and then sell it. That happens often. They have a repetitive request that comes in, they take the information, and then they put it up for sale.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, that could help, but I also think that the people who do that take the information and put it on their own website. They want to have an analysis next to a ruling. They compare with other information. Sometimes, it's slightly adjusted based on the audience.

Information & Ethics committee  That would be your job.

Information & Ethics committee  I guess if you're looking at the intent of the act, is it part of the intent of the act that any government provides information that can be used for resale? Myself, I doubt that would be the intent of the act.

Information & Ethics committee  People who live abroad and are not Canadians citizens have to use a representative in Canada. They hire them and pay for their services.

Information & Ethics committee  Whether they have pensions depends on whether they're indeterminate employees. With casuals, contractors, it would all be different.

Information & Ethics committee  It would be hard to count that. If you're trying to figure out what the overall cost is, they might leave before their pension comes. It would be easier to go on operating, like in-year, costs.

Information & Ethics committee  The other thing is that we keep that at a certain level, like some of the other aspects of the act, so I see all those.

Official Languages committee  If I may, I'd like to confirm that it's very complicated from the procurement standpoint. But I will not go into the details. We're also considering the impact of the fact that the people can't obtain a test at a relatively moderate cost. What this means is that the people don't

Official Languages committee  Yes, but the test is really intended for people outside Canada. The objective is for them to immigrate to Canada. The people who wrote to you live here now, but are submitting their application under the Express Entry program and as part of the economic class. In reality, the te
