"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1343928\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you very much.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1343929\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Commissioner, I am looking at table 2, complaints closed in 2007-08. It says at the bottom in a note that there was an increase of 1,070 new complaints. Then I look over here at table 1, which lists by institution the number of complaints, and I see here that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was responsible for 536 of those complaints.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1343930\" data-originallang=\"en\">The reason I point this out is that it would appear that half the new complaints can be attributed to one new institution that was just recently added. Now, I don't say that to blame CBC or any other institution. I think it's reasonable to expect that any institution that is newly added to the act is going to face an inordinate number of complaints in the first years of implementation. As such, I wonder if you can comment on whether or not the unprecedented addition of 69 new institutions under coverage by the Access to Information Act might be responsible for the increase we see.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1343928\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci beaucoup.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1343929\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le commissaire, j'examine le tableau 2 qui porte sur les plaintes ferm\u00e9es en 2007-2008. On mentionne un peu plus loi qu'il y a eu 1 070 plaintes de plus. Quand je regarde ici, au tableau 1, qui indique le nombre de plaintes re\u00e7ues par institution, je vois que la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Radio-Canada a fait l'objet de 536 de ces plaintes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1343930\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je le souligne, car il semble que la moiti\u00e9 des nouvelles plaintes peut \u00eatre attribu\u00e9e \u00e0 une nouvelle institution qui vient d'\u00eatre ajout\u00e9e. Je ne le dis pas pour bl\u00e2mer la SRC ou un autre organisme. Je crois raisonnable de s'attendre \u00e0 ce qu'il y ait un nombre inhabituel de plaintes \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard d'une institution nouvellement ajout\u00e9e au cours de la premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e. Pourriez-vous nous dire si l'augmentation que nous constatons pourrait \u00eatre attribuable au fait que 69 nouvelles institutions sont maintenant vis\u00e9es par la Loi sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information.</p>"
