The Government of Ontario has passed legislation that will make certain records from the premier’s office and cabinet confidential, with the changes applied retroactively.
Premier Doug Ford has said the move is necessary to protect privacy and cabinet confidentiality, while critics argue it limits transparency and access to information.
Opposition leaders have raised concerns about the speed of the bill’s passage and the lack of public hearings.
The legislation also includes other measures within the broader budget bill, including tax changes and development provisions.
