Publisher Description Is the business of public officials any of the publics business? Most Canadians would argue that it is – that we citizens are entitled to enquire and get answers about our governments actions. Yet, on a practical level, there still exists a struggle between the publics quest for accountability and the governments culture of secrecy.Drawing together the unique perspectives of social scientists, journalists, and access to information (ATI) advocates, Brokering Access explores the history of ATI law and supplies multiple examples of its contemporary application at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. From restrictions to access of airport security data post-9/11 to censorship under the Access to Information Act to the difficulties of obtaining details on streetscape video surveillance, this book reveals the legal and bureaucratic obstacles citizens face when trying to access government information.
