Some Data - Reporters without borders World Press Freedom Index

Tracey P. Lauriault
 
World Press Freedom Index - REPORT 
 
 
The opening paragraph states:
 
Access to government-held information has become more difficult since Stephen Harper became prime minister. A report by Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) said government agencies are taking longer to respond to requests for information. According to the report, 44 per cent of requests are not answered within the required period of 30 days and the average period for processing can be as long as 395 days.
