Changes need to be made to Nova Scotia’s
Freedom of Information Act. That’s the call being made by critics after premier
Stephen McNeil’s admission to using personal phone calls to get around the government’s duty to document.
In September, the Office of Information and Privacy (OIP)
published a report stating that texts, MMS and Blackberry messenger PINs
are considered records and should be made available for Freedom of
Information requests.
Surprisingly, the premier responded to the report by admitting to local
reporters that if he wants to have a private conversation about
government business he’ll pick up the phone and call the person, leaving
no recorded trace of what was said.
