Thank you for clarifying that. I think it's very important.
I would like to read a quote in English by David Akin, since the text was obviously written in English.
Please take notes. I'm quoting from David Akin's article entitled “30 years of ATI: And it’s getting worse”. He writes:
For example, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (and possibly other departments) are now trying to frustrate ATI requests by requiring “preparation fees.” I complained about this to the Information Commissioner, the Commission saw the sense of my reasoning, and called on Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird to get his department to modify its practices. He told Commissioner Legault to forget about it.
What do you make of a Conservative government minister taking such an attitude on access to information requests by members of the media?
