Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm sure that in preparing this legislation, the Minister and his staff canvassed the experience in other jurisdictions. I understand the reason for this amendment and that is to allow little people no barriers to applying for access to information. But I also understand, Mr. Chairman, that in other jurisdictions there has been a phenomena called "fishing," where special interest groups, media and sometimes just cantankerous people will basically file hundreds of requests fishing for information...and that in other jurisdictions there's been a fee imposed which would prevent these fishing expeditions and prevent harassment by media and other persons motivated by goals that are of self-interest and perhaps not in the public interest.
I would just like to ask the Minister, is his understanding that other jurisdictions do levy fees to prevent this kind of exploitation of the bill by unscrupulous persons?
