We all hope for good intentions by everybody in government and all folks working in politics.
I did an ATIP on the sinking of the Nathan E. Stewart. You'll remember the ship that went down near Bella Bella. This is what I got back. This is the unified command situation report, by the way, a publicly available document, but my ATIP looks likes this. What happened? When did it happen? Who was there? Who didn't show up? I can find these, but my ATIP proved this, hundreds of pages of this.
I have a question for Mr. Taylor-Vaisey.
Is it fair to say access delayed can be access denied? If a government simply doesn't want something to be revealed, be it embarrassing or costly in some way, is simply just running the process...? We heard about four years waiting on scientists being muzzled, and two years since this government took power....
Is that another form of accessibility delayed? Is transparency delayed transparency denied? Are those fair statements?
Does Bill C- 58 make things worse or better as it's written right now?
