An important and valuable volume, “Brokering Access” should be read not only by academics, journalists, and activists, but also by political and bureaucratic actors who are entrusted with interpreting and applying the access laws at the national and provincial level.
– Paul G. Thomas, professor emeritus, University of Manitoba

When freedom of information can be obstructed under false claims of national security, we all need to ask ourselves, how does this reflect upon the nature of our democracy? It is frustrating that books like this one still need to be published. But the fact that they are being published, and they are being read – and I would strongly encourage all Canadians to read this one – is a good sign.
– Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy Commissioner for the Province of Ontario
