Brokering Access
Is the business of public officials any of the public’s business? Most Canadians would argue that it is – that we citizens are entitled to enquire and get answers about our government’s actions.

The first paper presents the constitutional argument for bureaucratic independence and its implication for public service accountability. Paper two recommends adoption of both a Charter of Public Service values and disclosure legislation as integral parts of the federal government's accountability regime, and examines the Charter & disclosure ideas within a comparativ...
