The Ontario government has asked Canada's top court to weigh in on the province's nearly four-year fight to keep Premier Doug Ford's mandate letters to his cabinet ministers secret. Crown attorneys with the Ministry of the Attorney General filed their application to the higher court Monday for leave to appeal the Ontario Court of Appeal's decision to dismiss the Ford government's case. If it does, then the government will have to release the mandate letters. 'It's a total waste of money'"Whatever is in the mandate letters, they don't want it out," said Turk. Ford issued a new set of mandate letters to his cabinet ministers in the fall of last year.
