The Nova Scotia Government also posts responses to formal FOIPOP requests online on the Disclosure log. This is a free public repository of FOIPOP responses that have been approved for publication and have met a specific set of criteria (PDF file 800 KB)." https://novascotia.ca/is/programs-and-services/information-access-and-privacy.asp https://novascotia.ca/is/programs-and-services/information-a...
