Most Canadians would argue that it is ? that we citizens are entitled to enquire and get answers about our government's actions. Yet, on a practical level, there still exists a struggle between the public's quest for accountability and the government's 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. 606 $aFreedom of information$zCanada 606 $aFreedom of information$xPolitical aspects$zCanada 606 $aGovernment information$zCanada 606 $aOfficial secrets$zCanada 615 0$aFreedom of information 615 0$aFreedom of information$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aGovernment information 615 0$aOfficial secrets 676 $a342.71/0662 701 $aWalby$b Kevin$f1981-$01600516 701 $aLarsen$b Mike$f1981-$01600517 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820309203321 996 $aBrokering access$93923649 997 $aUNINA
