BC government too slow in repsonding to information requests

July22

According to the CBC site

Government ministries are regularly failing to meet their own time limit of 30 business days to respond to information requests, Loukidelis said in Victoria.  The average response time reached 51 business days for general information, Loukidelis said.

While it is good news that fewer requests are being denied outright, it’s pretty poor that the government can’t meet it’s own timelines.

I’m a librarian who doesn’t read many books. I like figuring out how things work, why they break, and how to make them work better. Thankfully I get to do this for work. I am the Systems and Technical Services Librarian at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, but the thoughts and opinions here are my own.

I’m not an artist, but I like to make things. I’m tinkering with Arduino. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to make some of the things I imagine.

I’m passionate about access to information, open source, intellectual freedom, and coffee.
