News / Politics / Activism Access to information requests

Figured I'd submit an access to information request to Alberta Justice to see the real story on why/why not the ASFCP hasn't made any effort to setup a mobile collection unit in province, the obvious aside.

Only to be met with a fee request of $15,000.

Looks like a great way to prevent the citizens from attaining access to the information they're entitled to.

"How many records are there really"
Good question. Maybe the 13 K is to ensure they 'found them all'.
But if you think they only have a few sheets of paper and could answer your question in a hot minute then maybe thats a question for Alberta's Information and Privacy Commissioner. Because wasting peoples time on suspicion is a good use of their time, right?

There are thousands of people who registered to participate in the ASFCP in Alberta. They're all being screwed by government bureaucracy. While they registered in good faith, the government will not process their applications due to internal red tape. Yes, I believe we are entitled to see the exact internal documentation outlining why.

Edit: ok dude you're giving me all sorts of "I have an extra copy of chromosome 21" vibes. good luck on your quest. l8r.

Thousands of applicants to a federal program which isn't happening in Alberta due to provincial barriers.

You literally asked for everything they had regarding a topic. How much did you expect?
