The other commitments that were made in 2006 by the Conservative Party, Minister, included such things as subjecting the exclusion of cabinet confidences to review by the Information Commissioner; obliging public officials to create the records necessary to document their actions and decisions; providing a general public interest override for all exemptions, so that the public interest is put before the secrecy of the government; ensuring that all exemptions from the disclosure of government information are justified only on the basis of the harm or injury that would result from the disclosure, not a blanket exemption rule; and ensuring that the disclosure requirements of the Access to Information Act cannot be circumvented by secrecy provisions in other federal acts, while respecting the confidentiality of national security and the privacy of personal information.
