In his testimony before this committee on March 9, the Information Commissioner told us that the Conservatives' Federal Accountability Act was the most significant reform to the Access to Information Act since its inception in 1983. David Loukidelis, Information and Privacy Commissioner of B.C.; Stanley Tromp, author of Fallen Behind: Canada's Access to Information Act in the World Context; and Murray Rankin, a lawyer specializing in information law and author of the preface for Fallen Behind, all agreed that the Federal Accountability Act was the most significant reform to the Access to Information Act since its inception.
Would any of you disagree with that assessment?
