Government MPPs passed the bill that will retroactively exempt records of the premier, cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants and their staff from FOI requests.
The Ford government has passed legislation to end the public’s ability to access the records of the premier and other top provincial government decision-makers.
Progressive Conservative MPPs voted on Thursday to pass Bill 97. The omnibus legislation enables plans announced in Premier Doug Ford’s government’s 2026 budget, along with rewriting the province’s records-access law.
Bill 97 is expected to soon receive the lieutenant-governor’s Royal Assent, to become law.
It will rewrite the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) to end the public’s ability to retrieve certain records of the premier, cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants and staff in their offices with freedom of information requests (FOIs).
Or that they keep releasing the wrong prisoners and despite being in official records for the last 5 years they acted like it wasn’t happening, then they had never heard of it, then acted like it’s already been dealt with, then said it will be dealt with soon.
But neither of these did anything to pull his support away so I imagine it must be way worse.
This coming while rumours of CSAM on his phone are spreading is just a coincidence.
