We will have guidelines too. As I explained on Committee Stage, the import of the Senator’s amendment will be captured but it would be a bridge too far to require the trawl of every personal account and text that an individual would have in order that there might be something there that would be germane to it.

The guidelines will state that any official correspondence on any official matter will be subject to freedom of information.
