And things have worsed, the past four years. Responsible government 250 on? I don't think so. Not if they can hide it.

I learned that the use and misuse of fees by governments to discourage citizens from exercising statutory rights of access is widespread and, unfortunately, highly sucessful. Nova Scotia's current system is indefensible and cries out for reform. Congratulations to the Right to Know Coalition of Nova Scotia for its persistence in keeping the issue in the public eye.

Attempting to levy these user fees are providing barriers for all but insurmountable barriers for the low income individuals.

You cannot print off your petition and attempt to present it to whatever govt official you are trying to persuade. We, at the Agent Orange Association of Canada learned this the hard way. Please revert to hard copy.

Why should a taxpayer looking for information related to taxpayer financed Department, be required to pay to access public information ?

Why should a taxpayer be required to pay for information the "government" has on that taxpayer? I think no fee should be charged.
