GATINEAU, QC, Jan. 25, 2016 /CNW/ - Canada's Information Commissioners have
called on their respective governments to create a legislated duty
requiring public entities to document matters related to their
deliberations, actions and decisions.

In a joint resolution, information commissioners expressed concerns about
the trend towards no records responses to access to information requests.
This lack of records weakens Canadians' right of access and the
accountability framework that is the basis of Canada's access to
information laws. Without adequate records, public entities also compromise
their ability to make evidence based decisions, fulfill legal obligations,
and preserve the historical record.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
