Changes need to be made to Nova Scotia’s *Freedom of Information Act*.
That’s the call being made by critics after premier *Stephen McNeil*’s
admission to using personal phone calls to get around the government’s duty
to document.

In September, the *Office of Information and Privacy* (OIP) published a
report stating that texts, MMS and Blackberry messenger PINs are considered
records and should be made available for Freedom of Information requests.

Surprisingly, the premier responded to the report by admitting to local
reporters that if he wants to have a private conversation about government
business he’ll pick up the phone and call the person, leaving no recorded
trace of what was said.
