Information Canada needs clearer role say Senate panel
A Senate finance committee urges defining Information Canada's authority by act of Parliament and appointing the secretary of state as minister responsible. It calls for it to be a coordinating body rather than absorbing programs, with free citizen access via enquiry centres and phone lines, while trimming mobile officer schemes. The panel notes about 200 million dollars a year spent on federal information services and recommends budget scrutiny across departments. It cites criticism since 1970 and the need to curb departmental suspicions. The report also mentions the Waimangu geyser eruption as a separate note.
