Transparency in Crisis: Broken Laws, No Accountability

Description: In Meeting No. 2 of the ETHI Committee (Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics), members reviewed a scathing report on Canada’s outdated Access to Information system. The session featured a powerful intervention by the Information Commissioner of Canada, who expressed deep concern over government inaction and called for urgent reform. This video breaks down the key points of the meeting, highlights the Commissioner’s sharp critique, and explores what’s at stake for transparency, open government, and accountability in Canada. What’s Covered: Summary of ETHI Committee Report No. 2 Key recommendations for fixing the Access to Information Act Why the Information Commissioner says the government response is "tepid" Proposed changes for proactive disclosure, publication schemes, and citizen access The broader implications for privacy, transparency, and public trust Why This Matters: Canada’s Access to Information system is increasingly seen as broken — slow, outdated, and opaque. The Commissioner and ETHI Committee agree: without legislative reform, Canadians will continue to face delays and redactions when requesting information from their own government.
