STILES: Ford is changing the rules to hide the truth from Ontario

QUEEN’S PARK — Official Opposition Leader Marit Stiles is blasting Doug Ford’s move to exempt himself, and his cabinet ministers’ offices from Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.

“Doug Ford is changing the rules so he can hide the truth from Ontarians,” said Stiles.

“Under these rules, it would have been impossible to uncover this government’s Greenbelt corruption, their Las Vegas massages, or their preferential treatment for the multi-billion dollar private spa at Ontario Place.

“The Premier shouldn’t forget that his government is under active RCMP criminal investigation, and when the RCMP come knocking, these cloak-and-dagger rules won't protect the government. They’ll have warrants.

“An honest government doesn’t change the rules to hide from the public. But Doug Ford’s government does.”
