The Freedom of Information fight at the B.C. legislature

from This is Vancouver Island

MLAs were burning the midnight oil this week, as the NDP's proposed changes to Freedom of Information (FOI) laws continue to gather criticism. Bill 9 wasn't the only thing on the parliamentary plate this week: Kennedy Stewart, a former Vancouver mayor and former NDP MP, made allegations of foreign interference, and there were changes to the B.C. Prosecution Service's Victims of Crime policy.Our political panel discusses it all with CBC's Gregor Craigie. The panel is former Green Party MLA and Tsartlip First Nation member Adam Olsen, former BC Liberal and BC United staffer Andrew Reeve, and former NDP cabinet minister Elizabeth Cull.
