"Transparency!" they insisted:
Canada’s chief public health officer yesterday in an official report on the pandemic deleted all references to garbled advice on masks. Dr. Theresa Tam as late as April 3 claimed there was no evidence masks protected Canadians from Covid-19: “It is absolutely mind-boggling.”
The Public Health Agency in a January 29 briefing note advised Canadians traveling in pandemic quarantine zones in China not to wear a mask despite local mandatory mask orders. Dr. Theresa Tam, chief public health officer, for weeks told the public masks were pointless and risky: “You have to be careful you’re not putting your finger in your eye.”

Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien spent four years and assigned seven investigators to a cursory review of a privacy complaint, records show. The complainant, a retired policeman, described Therrien’s office as slow and dysfunctional: ‘If I conducted investigations the same way they did I would have been charged.’

Accountability! They tried that in the movies and it didn't work:
Cabinet cannot risk censure for concealing We Charity documents for fear of losing control of Parliament, a Liberal MP said last night. MP Julie Dzerowicz (Davenport, Ont.) made the remarks as Liberals continued a three-week filibuster against disclosure: “It’s unpredictable.”**
Labour Minister Filomena Tassi yesterday rewrote rules to save federally-regulated employees from having to get a doctor’s note in claiming unpaid sick leave. Tassi did not comment, but acknowledged in a regulatory notice that employers protested the change: “Of course we believe Canadians are honest.”
