Mr. Speaker, “requests for access processed at a snail's pace, more and more files revealed only partially, exceptions increasingly cited, more requests ending in justified complaints”, this is the picture painted by the Canadian Association of Journalists of the administration of the federal access to information legislation in the public sector.
My question is for the Minister of Justice. Does this very strong statement not confirm that power is increasingly concentrated in the office of the Prime Minister, subject to the whim of his office, and less and less under the control of Cabinet and Parliament?
