It's hard to give a short answer to that.
Canada's legislative framework is 30 years old. One hundred and one countries now have access to information legislation. It is considered third-generation legislation. All we have to do is follow British Columbia's lead; its legislation is much more progressive. A modernizing of the act is overdue.
Although it is true that countries like India have better legislation than we do, not every level of government—municipal, provincial and federal—is subject to its implementation.
Canada is still a modern democracy. It's important to compare not just legislation, but also its implementation. It would be wonderful to have a robust piece of legislation, because that is what Canadians deserve.
