The Supreme Court of Canada is set to release its ruling today on a bid by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government to keep his marching orders to cabinet ministers confidential.
The Ontario government has been fighting the release of its 2018 mandate letters for years, losing appeals with the Information and Privacy Commissioner and an Ontario court.
