Federal policies block communication on everything from drugs to climate: report
The Harper government’s preoccupation with message control has earned several federal departments a failing grade for communication.
A report released Wednesday by researchers at Simon Fraser University and the non-profit group Evidence for Democracy gives the best mark – a B – to National Defence while the Canadian Space Agency, Public Works and Government Services, Industry Canada, and Natural Resources Canada all received an F.
“I was very surprised to see the department of National Defence score so high,” says Arne Mooers, a biodiversity professor at Simon Fraser University and adviser on the report that says several other departments could learn from the military’s direct approach.
The report assessed the media policies in 16 federal departments and found most of them seriously deficient.
