Danny then and now (IV)

The Transparency and Accountability Act will greatly enhance openness and accountability in government, but a comprehensive and effective Freedom of Information Act is the best safeguard against the tendency of governments to descend into official secrecy and elitism.

A Progressive Conservative government will:

  • Proclaim new Freedom of Information legislation which will include amendments that will clearly identify information that should be in the public domain, including cabinet documents, and will require full and prompt disclosure of the information to the public.

- PC Party platform, 2003 election


If we had to disclose everything that went on in cabinet, then from a Lower Churchill perspective or Hydro Quebec's perspective or anybody who's competitive in that market, they would have access to all our information and we wouldn't be able to sit down and negotiate anything.
