BC government experiences record-high FOI request wait times post-NDP $10 fee & exceeded response time limit, according to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
The British Columbia government has experienced a decline in Freedom of Information (FOI) requests since the NDP announced a $10 application fee, according to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
In addition, the provincial government has exceeded the time allowed to respond to a request in 5,100 cases without legal authority.
The longer wait times for FOI requests have led to the worst average wait time on record, taking an average of 85 business days to respond in the year ending March 2023.
