4/8 This isn't an isolated incident. Information and Privacy Commissioner Diane McLeod found that 27 government departments had failed to follow legislation on information requests.
The government rejected her key recommendations.
#FOIP #Transparency
2/11 McLeod's bombshell report followed a 21-month investigation into how Alberta handles Freedom of Information requests.
The devastating finding: 27 government departments relied on policies that "broke FOIP laws."
Multiple recommendations were issued to bring compliance.

2/9 Nearly 1,000 Albertans responded to the UCP survey last summer. Results withheld for over 10 months.
Only released after the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner got involved in access to information requests.

“Freedom of information has always been a charade in Alberta and in Canada,” Holman said. “It has always existed to provide the appearance of accountability and transparency as opposed to actual accountability and actual transparency.
“Has it gotten worse in Alberta? Absolutely.
“The public should have a right to know. Otherwise, they can’t make good decisions in a democracy. And right now, it is in the best interest of the UCP to ensure the public doesn’t have information so they can’t make the best possible decisions. Because the best possible decisions might result in them being ousted from power.”

8/8 This pattern raises questions about Alberta's selective transparency—withholding input on contentious topics like renewable energy & pension plans, while sharing results on less political matters.
The UCP governs by authoritarianism & secrecy.

3/8 The Information and Privacy Commissioner will review the government's justification for withholding the records.
Officials claimed exemptions for cabinet confidentiality and advice for officials—despite the act specifically stating the latter exemption doesn't apply to survey data.

This is an essential pillar of a functional democracy.
"It is difficult not to look at the history of this matter and see the critical rights imbued by access to information as being largely illusory."
