Do we need QuebecLeaks?

Quebec launched its own model of WikiLeaks Wednesday morning. QuebecLeaks allows Quebecers to anonymously submit and access compromising documents online.

Access to Information Minister Pierre Moreau, however, says he’ll be keeping an eye on the whistle-blower site. Moreau claims that sites like QuebecLeaks are unnecessary because, according to him, Quebec is the most open province in Canada.

Concordia student and WikiLeaks mirror host Nadim Kobeissi disagrees. Kobeissi, who is also a security software developer, says pushing for better government transparency is in the public’s best interest.

Quebecleaks, whose spokesman is onetime Parti Quebecois member Luc Lefebvre, has no leaks as of yet.
