Watchdog attacks federal cult of secrecy
Watchdog attacks federal cult of secrecy OTTAWA — There are serious flaws in the administration of the federal access-to-information law, says Information Commissioner Robert Marleau. In a scathing report, Marleau gives six of 10 federal agencies poor grades on their compliance with a law that is supposed to give the Canadian public access to government files. He calls the situation a "major information management crisis." "There are major delays, particularly with extensions, with some institutions routinely taking months to respond to information requests," Marleau said. "Canadians expect and deserve far greater efficiency and accountability from their government."
Access to information so limited it’s a "crisis"
