Information Commissioner of Canada

The Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada is an independent organization responsible for overseeing and enforcing the Access to Information Act. It helps ensure that Canadians can request and access government-held information, promoting transparency and accountability. The Commissioner reviews complaints from individuals who believe their right to access government documents has been unfairly denied, and can investigate and recommend solutions. Essentially, it acts as a safeguard to ensure the government respects citizens' rights to see information, fostering openness and good governance in Canada.
