Ford government passes budget that lets premier and ministers keep office records secret

The Ford government has passed a spring budget that includes provisions to let the premier and his cabinet ministers keep all their office records secret.

The spring budget changes Freedom of Information laws retroactively as well, meaning Ontario Premier Doug Ford would no longer have to comply with a court order to release his cellphone records.

The government used its majority to fast-track the bill and skip public hearings.
