WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

The Federal Access to Information Act has now been in operation for twenty-two years. Since its inception there have been two major reviews of the legislation. There have been calls for change from practitioners, access advocates, academics and journalists who are concerned about the legislation as it now stands. This seminar will look at the issues driving freedom of information in Canada. There will be a diversity of speakers from the private sector, government and oversight offices from the federal and provincial levels, bringing users and the access community together and creating an opportunity for dialogue and exchange between the speakers and the delegates. 

Changes in security legislation and policies have impacted on the Access Act, as have privacy rights. Information and communication technologies are transforming the way in which we access and use information. How are all these trends converging and what are the implications for access coordinators and professionals in the field?

Speakers will explore media issues involving both federal and provincial access to information laws and practices, while others will examine the efficacy of the law and where changes are needed. Target audiences for this event are federal and provincial access to information commissioners and their staffs, policy makers, departmental offices within the public service, and users of access laws, including businesses, associations and the media.
