The government says they believe in an initiative\u2014a CPP change or a small business tax policy\u2014and the press do their job and say, \u201cGive us the reasons why.\u201d A typical experience would be, \u201cHere are our points and this is what we think is good about this idea.\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5093557\" data-originallang=\"en\">The use of access to information to get basic government policy and the cost estimates and benefits of the policy seems to me to be an encroachment into some dangerous places in terms of basic accountability.</p>",
