In the case of Attorney General for Ontario v. Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, et al. File No. 40078 FIPA was pleased to work with Sean Hern K.C. to intervene and fight to keep the public interest paramount.
You might be surprised to learn Provincial governments in British Columbia and Alberta were fighting to create secret agendas amongst Premiers and Ministers that impact the public.
Our view is straightforward: Ministerial mandate letters need to be available and preferably by default.
Without that guarantee of transparency, the public can’t trust Ministers are advancing goals in the public interest rather than some secret agenda.
