Welcome to the third installation of Ask CBC News.
David McKie, an award-winning investigative journalist in the CBC Parliamentary bureau, has fielded two questions from the CBC Community.
We would like to thank Alyssa Stryker for her questions about Freedom of Information requests and investigative journalism.
About David McKie
