| 1 | Terri Chu | CAIRS is absolutely essential to our democracy |
| 2 | Russell Peters | Keep Canada Free! |
| 3 | Brett Varady | |
| 4 | c rothery | I want transparency |
| 5 | Robert G McRae | Please advise me when the Conservatives make it illegal to sign petitions. Thank you. |
| 6 | Anonymous | a very scary development in the destruction of democracy in Canada. |
| 7 | sean keddy | |
| 8 | tom brown | transparency is IMPORTANT. |
| 9 | ADAM VALLEE | We need more transparency and accountability, not less... But the Conservatives have already illegally spend $1 Million too much on their Campaign. |
| 10 | Anonymous | This is absolutely unacceptable and Canadians won't have it. You can fire science advisory offices and you can restrict arts credits to film makers but you can't take away a system of government accountability! I thought the whole platform this government won on was about accountability? Its a sad day for Canadians. |
| 11 | John Sullivan | |
| 12 | Geoff Falk | Access to information on government activities is paramount to a true democracy. It's disgusting that the government would not only not support but end this service. |
| 13 | Jay Chapman | First films now FOI databases? What other barriers would you like to put in place for those who don't fall into your party line? Go suck rocks. |
| 14 | Anonymous | This is another contemptible example of Harper's manipulation of power. His government wants accountability only when it serves their own special interests, not the common good. |
| 15 | Ken Miura | This cannot be allowed to happen. This and other things the Harper government have 'quietly' killed or implemented under our noses. Canadians should be consulted, and this does not sound like the open and accountable government Harper promised when he was elected. |
| 16 | Rommel Duran | CAIRS must stay intact! |
| 17 | Andrew Binkley | |
| 18 | Robert J Burns | This is but one more indication that the current government intends to run roughshod over any restraints or opposition. It has to be stopped while we still have the power to do so. |
| 19 | katherine whitfield | I support CAIRS and a free and open democracy. |
| 20 | Stephen Chen | What are they trying to hide? |
| 21 | Jeff Black | We don't want to go down this road. Bring back
CAIRS. We should be leading the way on openness in government, not clamming up. |
| 22 | Aaron Caswell | |
| 23 | Salman Qazi | |
| 24 | Andrew Escobar | |
| 25 | Michael Molenaar | I wish to see this bill reversed and the CAIRS database reinstated and maintained. I wish to see the increase in available information on the Canadian governments operations in all areas, especially financial. |
| 26 | Normand LaBIne | When elected officials have the power to fire the watchdogs, how are Canadians to know, even after the fact, if their activities were Self-Serving or in honest Public Service?
Its still a long haul to catch them and incarcerate them, if they do, and usually means an awfully expensive Public Inquiry, and even then, they get off with a house arrest rebuke, and the barn-door never gets closed. At least let us know who's doing who, so we won't buy contaminated CO2. |
| 27 | Lee Carney | |
| 28 | Ryan Mackellar | |
| 29 | Ron McGee | |
| 30 | Katie Bohan | How can making it harder for Canadians to exercise their right to access information on the workings of the government not be seen as an attempt to keep the citizens of this country in the dark? |
| 31 | Chae | It is really ironic... Conservatives claim to strongly believe in democracy, however, in reality they're nothing but a bunch of double-standard hypocrites. |
| 32 | Nelson D. Solberg | accountability and transparency my a$%!!!!!! |
| 33 | John Moeller | Conservatives blocking access to information? Say it ain't so! |
| 34 | Wilmer | taking Cairs away is taking the rights of canadians away. and I will not support a party that takes the rights of its voters away from them. |
| 35 | Kerrie Rusk | I think the petition says it all. We do not want Canada to follow down the road the US government going and this seems like a step towards that! |
| 36 | Christian Schroeder | Please restore this vital database. Accountability is the strength of democracy. |

| 38 | William A. Hallett | This action by the Reform Party has gone too far and must be stopped NOW!!!!! |
| 39 | Anonymous | What do they have to hide? Remember the campaign policy of accountability and transparency? This must be stopped! |
| 40 | Mike Hart | Canada must have transparency, don't cancel CAIRS. |
| 41 | Chris Bowers | |
| 42 | Beverly Zenhenko | |
| 43 | Anonymous | I knew a lot about him (Harper) from years past! Even then he was a bully and an icredible sulk...not unlike a small child. His idea of Canada would have us in Iraq, just watch he will have us joining Bush in the attack against Iran! He is secretly disbandind all that makes me proud to be Canadian. Soon he will disband The changing of the guard on Parliament Hill and all things that have made us different from the USA. Please, please, please Liberals lets call an election. |
| 44 | Arlene Catling | Am I surprised? NO, NO, NO. |
| 45 | V. Villeneuve | |
| 46 | Connie Marcelli | |
| 47 | Toni Xerri | And this is the government that promised openness and transparency - maybe we should call you the liberals again eh? And we wonder why Canadians have lost their trust of politics. |
| 48 | Susanne Shaw | |
| 49 | Jim Wellington | If I wanted to be lied to and manipulated by unethical, immoral jerks who believe the voting public is made up of idiots who couldn't find their way out of a paper bag, I could have stayed in the USA. |
| 50 | peter kelly | so much for being transparent and accountable. This 'new' government promised to be better than the corrupt liberals and only delivered on a more corrupt version instead |
