I think I found a solution to this pork barrel mess !!! We should all fight for Freedom of Information !!! In Canada, the Access to Information Act allows citizens to demand records from federal bodies. The act came into force in 1983, under the Pierre Trudeau government, permitting Canadians to retrieve information from government files, establishing what information could be accessed, mandating timelines for response. Any exceptions to that right of access (i.e. information that is not disclosed) is limited and specific. That means that government departments cannot simply refuse to disclose whole documents or series of documents. This is enforced by the Information Commissioner of Canada. We should all be auditors of our taxes for the future of our children and this PORK scandal will not have a chance to happen again !!!
