Law to Make Parliament More Open
Making Parliament More Open
This proposed law, put forward by Alex Ruff, wants to change how Parliament gets information. Right now, the rules about what information the government *has* to share with Parliament are not very clear. This proposed law would make it so that certain important information *must* be shared with Parliament. This would include things that Parliament needs to do its job properly. This change would affect all Members of Parliament (MPs). It would also affect the government, because they would have to give up more information. It matters because it could make the government more open and honest. With more information, MPs can make better decisions. This could lead to better laws and a government that is more accountable to the people.
Where this proposed law falls on the policy spectrums that Canadians care about
