Oops, my bad. I meant to say Premier Dalton McGuinty's office.
Seems the Premier's office may have delayed the release of documents pertaining to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. scandal. This is an allegation from by fired OLG chief executive Kelly McDougald's statement of claim.
Just a note of warning: Statements of Claim are often massive works of fiction, and are not required to be true.They can -- and have -- been used to cause damage to reputations without being liable for libel. The plaintiff is simply making a filing, and the news from them is simply being reported. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives managed to perpetuate a falsehood that the Cadman tape was altered in their widely circulated Statement of Claim, for example.
Still, political interference in freedom of information requests are, sadly, all too known.
