Access to information database resurrected

University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist writes that he and some students have resurrected the invaluable (to me, anyhow) CAIRS database.

“Today I launched CAIRS.Info, a new site that provides access to searchable PDF copies of the same information that was contained in the CAIRS database. Requests are sent to most government departments each quarter for a list of the most recent access to information requests. The resulting documents are uploaded and can be searched by government department, date of the request, or keywords within the requests. All request documents can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF file. “

Hurrah for Prof. Geist and his students. Great job!
