Ontario boat charters issue warning over ‘deceptive’ operators

Ontario’s freedom-of-information watchdog says a series of systemic issues in the provincial government’s handling of documents in the Greenbelt affair – including deleting e-mails and using codewords that make searches difficult – risks eroding public trust.In her annual report issued on Thursday, Information and Privacy Commissioner Patricia Kosseim dedicates a separate 11-page section to access-to-information appeals related to the province’s aborted 2022 decision to develop parts of the protected Greenbelt area – a move under criminal investigation by the RCMP.
