I'm not especially encouraged to hear that Mr. Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe has found our access to information regime to be effective.

But I'd like to get back to this whole business of cabinet secrecy.

What is our recourse if a member of Parliament makes an access to information request, or in fact any Canadian makes an access request, that might be embarrassing for a minister, and a minister decides he's going to invoke cabinet secrecy? What do I do in that situation when I get blank pages coming back?
