flag Canada's proposed AI Act changes face skepticism over weakening public access despite promises of reform.

flag Canadian openness advocates remain skeptical of early government proposals to reform the Access to Information Act, warning the review may not fix long-standing issues and could weaken public access. flag The Treasury Board launched the review in June 2025, acknowledging problems like poor record-keeping, delayed responses, and difficulty obtaining Indigenous-related records. flag The draft paper suggests expanding government powers to extend processing times and expresses concern over the information commissioner’s use of binding orders. flag Critics say these changes fail to address systemic flaws and reflect a pattern of unfulfilled promises. flag Despite decades of criticism and prior reviews, the government has focused on administrative tweaks rather than legislative overhaul. flag Formal policy proposals and stakeholder consultations are expected this winter, but many doubt meaningful reform will follow.
