The province’s Privacy Commissioner is expressing disappointment with a two-year delay in introducing Duty to Document legislation.

Muskrat Falls Inquiry Commissioner, Justice Richard LeBlanc, made the recommendation to have Duty to Document legislation introduced within six months, but two-and-a-half years later and no such laws have been adopted.

Michael Harvey says Duty to Document will help to address questions surrounding how certain government decisions are made.

He wrote a report in 2020 based on the decision to hire and then rescind the contract of a person hired at The Rooms, but “the records just weren’t there.” Harvey says he can provide oversight of people’s access to records that exist, but “if the records don’t exist, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
