Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Standing Committee on Legislation reviewed this matter and made a couple of suggestions by which to have requests reviewed. One of the options they suggested was the creation of an office of Commissioner for this purpose, so that's the one we elected to take. In any case, they're referring everything to the courts, in many cases where they're frivolous it would be discarded. But it also would take up expensive time of expensive people, people who are already over-taxed, in my opinion, with work that is essential to the well being of the community and society in general.
There is still recourse to the courts if decisions that are made that are considered contravening to this act. But other than that, we've allowed for the provision that a request that is not complied with, which is considered to be a reasonable request, shall be reviewed by the Commissioner and recommending to us that we comply. If not, then the deputy minister, for instance, specifically, can be held accountable to this Legislature upon report of the Commissioner.

Going back to clause 45, this is a section where I made the mistake of thinking it had to do with job interviews and things like that, with information gathered with job interviews and reasons for a person not being hired. Those things would not be available to a person, right?
When I made a rebuttal to Mr. Patterson's thoughts on the bill, I said if a person wants to find out why he didn't get a job, you can find it out under this clause, but I guess that's not going to be the case.

That was a point you were trying to make, it was not a question, right, Mr. Gargan?
