From the Least Transparent Government Ever Re-Elected

Why report things to the proles, anyway?:

Senior Department of Finance officials had secret meetings, phone calls and emails with the insurance lobby on pharmacare, Access To Information records show. Scores of contacts were never reported under the Lobbying Act, with careful instructions from insurers that information was “not to be shared publicly”.



Ham-stringing from abroad:

Cabinet proposes to enforce a climate change code on all Canadian companies operating abroad. The mandate would see mining, oil and gas firms “be positive on the local environment”.

 

 

Another example of incompetence on a federal level

Federal managers have unwittingly hired fake nurses, engineers and architects, say auditors. The Public Service Commission reviewed scrutiny of job-seekers’ résumés after one national health care administrator was found to have bought her Master’s Degree from a Texas diploma mill: “The federal public service is not immune to such fraud.”
