Cost is only one of the barriers, and I have one example. The Treaty One First Nations, in my community of Winnipeg, were trying to find out about the status of the Kapyong military barracks. They paid their $5 up front and then there was a $780 surcharge for research. That's only one example where stalling, delaying, overcharging, etc., are barriers thrown in the way of those who would like to exercise their right to know.
What is the highest amount that you can remember a person being charged for a freedom of information request?
