Book excerpt: The Access to Information Act and its companion legislation, the Privacy Act came into force on Canada Day, 1983. While 10 years is a modest milestone in the life of any legislation, it is an appropriate occasion on which to reflect upon the Act and how it has affected legal, social and administrative landscapes in Canada. A number of questions emerge in this process. How did the Act come into being? How has it functioned? Who has used the Act and to what ends? have we come any closer to prying open the iron gates of administrative secrecy? This brief document attempts to answer these questions, as well as to raise a few about what may lie ahead on the information highway.
