Ontario ’s information and privacy commissioner orders release of call logs of Ontario premier's private cellphone.

Decision caps off a two-year transparency battle with the Ford government over how Premier Ford conducts government business using a personal device.

Ford routinely hands out his phone number as a means of directly communicating with taxpayers and constituents provincewide.

Ford 's government-issued cellphone went unused for months during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ford government has filed a request for a judicial review of the order, which will also be fought by the premier’s own lawyers.

The IPC said that not releasing the government calls from his personal device “would undermine the purposes” of freedom of information laws in Ontario .

The Ford government is also fighting the IPC 's order to release his phone records.
