Les renseignements détenus par le gouvernement, de même que l'accès à ces derniers, relèvent de deux catégories. La première porte sur l'accès aux renseignements personnels stockés dans les banques de données gouvernementales [...] La deuxième catégorie de renseignements détenus par le gouvernement a trait aux politiques. Il s'agit donc de toute information versée aux dossiers du gouvernement qui sert à la prise de décisions de ce dernier, y compris les décisions relatives à l'adoption de lois ou de règlements. 3, record 2, French, - renseignements%20d%C3%A9tenus%20par%20le%20gouvernement

In addition to the usual activities of the Association dealing with the provincial government on legislation and holding conventions and seminars to dispense information to its membership, the Association is involved in numerous related activities and its represented on a number of committees related specifically to the grain industry such as the Canada Grains Council. The Association executive meets formally about five times a year. 3, record 3, English, - Saskatchewan%20Association%20of%20Rural%20Municipalities

La Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) a été fondée en 1905 pour représenter les municipalités rurales et leurs producteurs agricoles auprès des paliers supérieurs de gouvernement. [...] Même si l'activité de l'Association n'est pas uniquement centrée sur l'agriculture, celle-ci occupe une place suffisamment importante pour que l'on ait prévu la mise sur pied d'un programme d'éducation permanente en agriculture, coordonné par un directeur permanent de l'agriculture; ce programme, entité distincte dans l'Association, s'ajoute à l'activité dirigée par les dix administrateurs du conseil. [...] Outre ses activités régulières, qui consistent essentiellement à intervenir auprès du gouvernement provincial en matière de politique agricole et à organiser des congrès et des séminaires pour renseigner ses membres, l'Association participe à de nombreuses activités connexes et siège à certains comités liés à l'industrie du grain proprement dite, par exemple le Conseil des grains du Canada. Il y a, chaque année, environ cinq réunions statutaires du conseil de direction de la SARM. 3, record 3, French, - Saskatchewan%20Association%20of%20Rural%20Municipalities
