Opposition politicians at Queen's Park are trying to get Premier Doug Ford to release his personal cellphone records using an Opposition Day Motion.
RELATED: Premier Doug Ford’s use of a personal cell phone is being scrutinized after Ontario’s auditor general scolded the province for use of personal emails for official government communications. Global News' Queen’s Park Bureau Chief Colin D’Mello reports – Aug 15, 2023Opposition politicians at Queen’s Park will bring a motion Thursday in an attempt to force Ontario Premier Doug Ford to hand over his personal cellphone records.
Documents obtained by Global News show Ford failed to make a single call on his official government phone over four separate months, including at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Government lawyers said Ford makes and receives phone calls related to his position as the leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative caucus, a minister, head of the Executive Council and Cabinet and Premier of Ontario — much of which would constitute government business.
The NDP’s motion argues that Ford has “admitted that he regularly uses his personal phone to conduct government business and those communications might be relevant to these inquiries.”The words are a reference to an ongoing police investigation into the government’s Greenbelt scandal and other watchdog reports at Queen’s Park.
