BC's Min. of Citizen's Services insists $25/FOI request won't be a barrier, but:
1. Mins & agencies are increasingly punting routine requests to FOI
2. They know newsroom budgets are insanely tight and they can further starve journalists of info that way

The rationale is other provs charge and "BC receives more FOI requests annually than the other 3 western provinces combined."
Repeat after me: stories like this shouldn NOT require FOI, they should be disclosed as they're completed:

The truly frustrating thing about the Freedom of Info backlog? It could easily be slashed overnight by providing the info through well-staffed comms depts
Yes, personal info of patients/staff needs redacting, but 99% OF REQUESTS DO NOT
No one should expect FOI as the new normal
