Mr. Chairman, I'm not certain if the Member is asking for a specific clause to be in there that says this act in no way limits or hinders or reduces the present access that Members of this Legislature have to information of the government under current practice. I understand that what it says is that the act is in addition to, and does not replace, existing procedures for access to government information or records. It is generic, but it means that this act is intended to enhance access to government information and, in no way, replaces current procedures in place for accessing information, which includes MLAs.
