King Government Continues Breaking FOIP Law with 6th “Deemed Refusal”
Maines has 4 Court Orders against the PEI government on four separate FOIP requests for which the King government is refusing to release e-gaming documents. Last week, I reported that there was now a 5th FOIP request for which the Dennis King Government is breaking the law.
I’m sad to report that there is now a 6th deemed refusal “non-response” from the King government, with another one of my FOIP requests. That request, as well as the letter I sent to the Information and Privacy Commissioner, Karen Rose, this morning, are included below.
As more has been discovered in the investigation, these last FOIP requests have been very focused on getting additional documentation pertaining specifically to those “cover-up” things that have come to the light of day. I expect there are lots of new bombs ready to go off in those documents, and I’m starting to think one may have a nuclear warhead!
There must be some truly shocking information in those e-gaming documents for the newly-elected Premier – who so forcefully promised so recently to finally deliver true transparency and access to information to Islanders – to have made a name for himself, in such a short time, as the Premier who rules as if PEI had no Freedom of Information Act at all.
