Another recommendation is to use the Internet and make a lot of this information available through the Internet and to receive requests for information via the Internet. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1457947\" data-originallang=\"en\">Given that, and the fact that foreign governments, and perhaps even enemy combatants such as the Taliban, would then have the right to request information from the Canadian government, do you think it would be reasonable that the taxpayers of Canada know who those people are, if they're foreigners, who are requesting information from the Canadian government? Do you think it would be a reasonable request that the Canadian taxpayers know that a foreign government or the Taliban wants to know, for example, how many tanks the Canadian army has in a warehouse in Montreal?</p>",
