Accessibility advocate appeals access to information fee

The Wynne government is denying Ontarians the right to know the details behind its promised 2015 crack-down on businesses that ignore their responsibilities under the province’s landmark accessibility legislation, an accessibility activist says. In documents filed in advance of Tuesday’s hearing, government lawyers argue the fee is being charged to offset costs to the public. David Lepofsky, Lawyer, appeals $4,250 fee to access information on how Ontario’s accessibility law is being enforced.
