Campaign for Open Government launches with report on BC Government’s dismal Freedom of Information performance
A broad-based coalition which includes FIPA, the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation, BC Civil Liberties Association and many other groups, has launched a campaign to ensure BC’s government fulfills its long-overdue promise to be a Canadian leader in openness and accountability.
The Campaign for Open Government http://www.opengovernment.ca is focusing on the Province’s poor record of response to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. The FOI Act allows citizens and organizations to request copies of government documents.
At the campaign launch, a report titled ACCESS DENIED: An analysis of the BC Government’s response to freedom of information requests, 2000-2005 was released.
