Where’s the transparency? A year of unfulfilled promises on freedom of information [E-mail Required] (theijf.org)

Carney’s own department, the Privy Council Office, has been one of the worst performers in the access to information system. In the span of about two years, the office was peppered with an extraordinary 87 legal orders to release documents after initially refusing to provide them to requesters. That’s up from zero orders in the previous three years. Little surprise, then, that bureaucrats have been quietly recommending curbs on the information commissioner’s ability to issue such orders.

I couldn't find an archive link that works. I tried signing in and archiving myself but it still asks for an e-mail.

If you enter a throwaway e-mail it'll let you in without having to confirm.

FTFY. Not a blind Liberal supporter or anything, but stuff like this pisses me off, especially when buddy has barely been involved in federal politics for a year, hasn't even been PM for a year, but it associates his name specifically with multiple years of inactivity.
