B.C.'s Freedom of Information and Privacy Association says it got a $1,792 fee estimate for freedom of information requests.
The B.C. government is being secretive about its pledge to transparency — particularly around the recent BC Housing scandal, a provincial privacy watchdog says.
It was May 8 the provincial government announced it was restricting new funding to a major non-profit housing provider as well as reviewing its finances after an independent report found mismanagement by a former top executive at the province's housing corporation. What the probe found was that Ramsay repeatedly influenced decisions that benefited Atira, and a lack of oversight by BC Housing’s board "resulted in a culture whereby it was deemed acceptable to tolerate non-compliance with policies."
He noted the NDP government had released the report with Premier David Eby and Minister of Housing Ravi Khalon saying they had used a section of B.C.’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to ensure the report was released as a matter of clear public interest. “We filed an FOI request with each of the ministries, central agencies, and public sector organizations we anticipated could have been involved in the report’s release: Government Communications and Public Engagement, Office of the Premier, Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Attorney General, Ministry of Citizens’ Services and BC Housing itself,” he said.
