He should apply for a review of the Attorney General's decision, as the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner has the authority to "confirm, excuse, or reduce a fee, or order a refund, in the appropriate circumstances" (section 58(3)(c) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 165).
The BC Liberals have demonstrated a reckless disregard for the information access rights of British Columbians. This is only a tiny example, and is probably just symptomatic of the broader problem, demonstrated in the recent past by the scandalous "triple-deletion" of email messages by the office of The Honourable Christy Clark MLA, Premier. Perhaps a broader inquiry into the scandal of information access, and appropriate records retention and destruction, is overdue.
if you think B.C. has problems,you should experience Alberta.
as a matter of fact,i did some information audiiting of the access to information and the administered process which accompanies this access.
forget the privacy commissioners office,USELESS.
usually they are,("Commissiners),are polticially affilated and have limited regulatory clout,(which suits them fine),they have no influence over the public informaiton process,and serve minimal contribution to public good,and tend to waiver on the influences of partisan politics.
It has become a game,a game which enforces recipical agreements.
Canadians were duped into believing the implementation privacy acts were their salvation to transparent government,
but in fact the use of this act became the opposite,the administration of these acts became catalysts and enablers for organized corruption.
"valu added" the old stock calls it,
retention of records are you joking?part of the limited access is the process and the costs itself.
it is an act that should be dismantled,right to the core.

the review of the attorney general's office is another big "funning" in the administered process,but then again,if you want to have some fun yourself with the information process this may be a good time to make hay,
i should ask for a review of the limited access to information in the design of the Mayerthorpe 4 inquest,why was there limited information provided in some areas of management decisons,
i think this would be a great review to agitate some information,i know the answers all ready,so my expectations would be minimal,maybe the attorney general office will take considerations into future designs of rcmp killed in the line of duty.
what do you think?
