Doug Ford’s government is moving to exempt ministers and the premier from the public scrutiny of access to information laws.
In a controversial move Friday, Business Minister Stephen Crawford announced the third-term Progressive Conservatives were “modernizing Ontario’s privacy protections and bringing the province’s technology practices into the 21st century.”
But the amendments, which will be introduced after the legislature resumes March 23, mean “excluding the records of the premier, cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants and their offices under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).”
