In Canada, there is now a culture that makes people really want to know on what basis the government makes its decisions and where their money goes.
In Canada, 65% of access to information requests come from the public. We often think of journalists, who are certainly important clients. There are also many historians and professors. On the other hand, the average person now asks a lot of questions. For example, people want to know what the policies are, how decisions are made, and where the money has been sent. This is one of the reasons why the number of requests will always increase. Canadians know they have a right to access information and they are asking for it.
