Manitoba cabinet briefing on landfill search for murder victims not being released - The Turtle Island News
Manitoba’s government is withholding records regarding a rejected landfill search for murder victims, citing strict freedom of information laws. This secrecy prevents public scrutiny of the civil servants' advice to ministers, raising concerns about transparency in high-stakes investigative decisions. For open data, this highlights how legislative loopholes can obstruct accountability. It underscores the urgent need for stronger data release mandates to ensure government actions remain accessible and verifiable by the public.
