HALIFAX Nova Scotia s freedom of information system stands out for fee estimates dwarfing those asked by larger provinces, says a group studying prison responses to COVID-19. Kevin Walby, a University of Winnipeg researcher, said in a recent interview that his queries to Nova Scotia have been met with projected costs that are so far more than 20 times higher than Ontario s. Meanwhile, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador are offering the information with no fees, though after delays, he added. It makes no sense, given they (Nova Scotia) are dealing with 10 times fewer jails and prisoners, Walby, the author of four books on the country s freedom of information laws, said last week.
