8:08 pm - Bill 9 — Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Amendment Act, 2026 passes second reading at 3:45 am this morning.
This bill would - among other things - end proactive disclosures - government publishing freedom of information requests that people have requested and the government has published to ensure people aren't paying multiple times for the same records.Â
Under Bill 9 only the person who requested - and paid for - the records will receive them.
One example of a proactive disclosure the trans community benefited from is Ministry of Health FOI 2015-50915 - because of this FOI, the trans community figured out why surgical assessments in BC just stopped halfway through the year and why the phone number just went to voice mail, with nobody receiving calls back for months.
The FOI showed that Dr. Knudsen was funded for exactly 90 clinical sessions per year, and once she hit that number, her trans clinic shut down until Jan 1st of the next year.Â
Bill 9 will not only make information harder to access, allow requests to take longer at the Ministry's sole discretion but it will also make research cost more.Â

Fallout from the Centurion Project data breach continues
David Parker, leader of the Centurion Project on X - "You can’t condemn me by pointing out where I stumble."
David's "stumble" is the largest known breach of government data in Canadian history, resulting in nearly 5 times more people having their personal information exposed than the previous record, 2012's Canada Student Loan information breach.
The previous record holder was the loss of an external hard drive containing personal data for approximately 583,000 borrowers who received loans between 2000 and 2006. Â
The maximum fine for breaching the Alberta Election Act? $10,000 and a year in jail. Less than a 1/3rd of a cent per person who had their personal information exposed for weeks online.
