British Columbia MOE agrees to reform its FOI practices
On January 22, the British Columbia OIPC released an investigation report dealing with a complaint brought by eight environmental organizations which alleged three ministries were suffering from systemic flaws in their processing of FOI requests. Commissioner Loukedelis held that further analysis would be required to make a firm finding, but that there was some basis for an allegation of a “systemic problem” at the MOE. This was enough to make the MOE agree to a remedial plan with six core tasks.
