Commentary: BC Information Commissioner Michael Harvey

BC Information and Privacy Commissioner Michael Harvey returns to Access and Privacy Online to speak with FIPA President Mike Larsen, Executive Director Jason Woywada, and producer Patrick Farnsworth.  



Commissioner Harvey addresses several key subjects, including the BC government's latest report on the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act and concerns that people are losing faith in the FOI system as a means to an end of transparency; the perils of misinformation and loss of public trust; the information ecosystem and the need to balance budgetary concerns and investment; privacy and educational technology; and Canadian data sovereignty.
