Open and shut : enhancing the right to know and the right to privacy : report of the Standing Committee on Justice and Solicitor General on the review of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.: XC33-1/1-332-1E-PDF

"The Committee's report on the comprehensive review of the provisions and operation of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act is inspired by the principles enunciated in both Acts; that they are to enhance the right of access to government information and the protection of individual privacy enjoyed by all Canadians. This study has led the Committee to conclude that both Acts have shown major shortcomings and weaknesses. In some cases, the current legislative scheme is inadequate; in others, there are issues not addressed at all by the Acts"--Executive summary, page xiii.
