---SHORT RECESS

I now call Committee of the Whole back to order. Committee, we've agreed to consider Tabled Document 50-18(2), Main Estimates, 2016-2017, and we agreed to continue with the Department of Justice. Minister, would you like to bring witnesses into Chamber?

Yes, I would.

Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the Chamber. Minister, would you please introduce your witnesses?

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. To my left is Kim Schofield, director of Finance, and to my right, Sylvia Haener, Deputy Minister of Justice.

Thank you, Minister. We're on the department totals on page 259. We will defer this until we've considered the rest of the department details. So if Committee wants to turn to page 260, justice revenue summary and information item. We can take comments or questions on that page, page 260. I'll give Committee a moment. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Under the revenue section, regulatory revenue, access to information to a privacy fees, I see $4,000. I guess I've heard from some people that the fees may be an impediment or a barrier for individuals to request information, and it looks from this that we don’t actually raise a lot of revenue from this. Is this an item that the department is looking at perhaps even doing away with fees, given the low amount of revenues here in the interest of open government? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.

Mr. Chair, as the House will note there is a review of the ATIPP Act being conducted at this very time and that is one of the matters that is going to be considered.

Thank you, Mr. Sebert. I'll just remind all Members and Ministers to conclude your statement with a thank you, so the audio techs know to switch the microphones. It makes it a little easier for people at home to follow. Mr. O'Reilly.
