The utter audacity of this.

The exemptions would be retroactive, meaning all existing, outstanding requests for information from these offices would be scrapped, including Mr. Ford’s phone logs.

    The proposed changes follow the government’s loss of a court battle, initially launched by Global News, over the call logs for Premier Doug Ford’s personal cellphone, which he uses for government business.
