Mr. Speaker, in fact, what the minister refuses to say is that responses to information requests are of poor quality and very late.
The Information Commissioner was clear: “Although the Act was intended to shine a light on government decisions, it has become a shield against transparency and has encouraged a culture of delay.”
In 2006, the Conservatives promised Canadians more transparency and a reform of the act.
Is the minister not ashamed of breaking his own promises and maintaining a culture of delay?
