If you were to change any of the access to information laws to free up some of what you see yourself as needing to report, what changes to those laws would you recommend to this committee to improve or grant more information when requested?</p>",

Si vous deviez modifier l'une des lois sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information pour pouvoir divulguer certains renseignements qui, selon vos propres dires, devraient \u00eatre communiqu\u00e9s, quels changements nous recommanderiez-vous d'apporter pour am\u00e9liorer la situation ou pour pouvoir communiquer davantage d'information quand on en fait la demande? </p>"
