💨 Abstract

Ontario's transparency watchdog, Patricia Kosseim, is urging the Ford government to reverse its proposed changes to freedom of information laws, which would exempt the premier, cabinet ministers, and their staff from such requests. Kosseim argues that these changes will make Ontario less transparent than the federal government and raise significant security risks. The government maintains that the changes are about modernizing outdated legislation. Recent polls show that a majority of Ontarians oppose these changes.
