The Official Opposition says the annual report released today (Thurs) from the Saskatchewan Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner lists 84 recommendations to improve transparency and accountability haven’t been fulfilled during the years that Scott Moe has been Premier. Critic for Ethics and Democracy, Meara Conway says, “These documents that the Commissioner has deemed in the public interest that the Sask Party produce, refused. The public deserves answers.”

The Privacy Commissioner and the NDP are requesting the office have order-making power as other Privacy Commissioners have in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and with the federal government. They have to the power to make a public body disclose records. Right now, the Privacy Commissioner in Saskatchewan doesn’t have that authority.
