		<description><![CDATA[Here in the dead of summer, accountability news is at its low point. There have been a few stories of interest, though. About four weeks ago, the Globe and Mail ran apiece about what the author called Canada’s “accountability deficit.” In it, she describes the incredible inefficiency of government information management practices – the quirky, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This story has been around for five years now. Back in 2006, just after Harper won his first minority, he started to fulfill his promise to create a public appointments commission. In theory, that would have ended (or at least weakened) the patronage system by having all public appointments go through a merit-based process. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My issue today is about the brewing battle over the costs of the federal Conservative’s crime Bill S-10. This may seem like a story about politics, but it is actually about accountability. That’s because, like the Afghan detainee controversy, there are key documents being withheld from Parliament. The documents in this case are the projected [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The lead story today is the re-warming of the Afghan detainee controversy. As the new Parliamentary Committee meetings approach, the government and opposition are facing off over the issue of unreleased documents.
