Whereas transparency and accountability are fundamental principles of democratic government and are essential to maintaining public trust in municipal institutions; Whereas Ontario's Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) provides residents with a legal mechanism to access records and information held by municipalities; Whereas access to information enables residents, taxpayers, journalists, researchers, and community organizations to better understand municipal decision-making, expenditures, policies, and operations; Whereas fees associated with Freedom of Information requests may create financial barriers that discourage members of the public from exercising their right to access information; and, Whereas public access to municipal records should be encouraged wherever possible in order to promote openness, accountability, and informed civic engagement; and Whereas reducing or eliminating Freedom of Information fees would help ensure that access to government information is based on the public interest rather than a person's ability to pay.
