Environment Canada gets an 'F' for its handling of Freedom of Information Requests "Canada's access to information laws are on the verge of becoming completely meaningless due to chronic delays and foot dragging, a new report warns. Released today by interim Access to Information Commissionier Suzanne Legault, the report says growing delays are eroding Canadians’ right to obtain documents from their government. 'This right is at risk of being totally obliterated because delays threaten to render the entire access regime irrelevant in our current information economy,' Ms. Legault writes." Globe and Mail, April 13, 2010. In relation to its handling of FOI requests, Environment Canada was rated 22nd out of 24 government agencies and received an F (unsatisfactory) rating.
