DESCRIPTION:
 
It's a critical time for FOI and privacy rights in BC, with some
game-changing recommendations for changes to the Freedom of Information and
Protection of Privacy Act on the table. 
 
A Special Committee of the Legislature has just completed the third review
of the FOIPP Act and delivered its final report to the BC Legislature on May
31.
 
The public wants privacy protection and more access to government
information. Government officials want less scrutiny and a LOT more license
to collect and share our personal information. Both are demanding major
reforms of BC's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. 
 
ARE BIG CHANGES AHEAD FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY IN BC? 
 
Speakers and panelists at the 2010 BC Information Summit will debate the
most important issues and recommendations that are on the table following
the legislative review.
 
The summit will feature the maiden speech of BC's new Information and
Privacy Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham.
