Commissioner’s report counts 84 times from April 2023 to March 2024 when provincial ministries and agencies partially or fully brushed recommendations to have documents made public
Saskatchewan’s privacy commissioner says provincial ministries and agencies ignored dozens of his requests over the last year to release public information.
The report says information was fully yielded in 45 per cent of cases when requested by the commissioner.“I think it’s deliberate,” NDP democracy critic Meara Conway told reporters. Premier Scott Moe’s office wrote in an e-mailed statement Thursday it has a long-standing commitment to transparency, saying information requests are granted whole or in part 94 per cent of the time, if records exist.
She said there were roadblocks in getting information about a motel owned by Saskatchewan Party MLA Gary Grewal. But the party did eventually get some details.
