Canada’s Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Information Commissioners and Ombuds are calling upon governments to promote a more robust information ecosystem.
NL’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner has signed a joint resolution titled “Trust, transparency, and democracy in an era of misinformation.” Canada’s Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Information Commissioners and Ombuds are calling upon governments to promote a more robust information ecosystem. These FPT Information Regulators adopted the resolution earlier this fall while meeting in Banff, Alberta. Recommendations include setting minimum standards for proactive disclosure, ensuring adequate resources, supporting media and society in promoting the public’s right to know, and enhancing online platforms for greater transparency. NL’s Information and Privacy Commissioner Kerry Hatfield says, “We know that democracy suffers and we are all harmed when misinformation spreads. The best antidote to that, for all levels of government and public institutions, is to build trust by being as transparent and open as reasonably possible.”
