There are no penalties for violating Ontario’s Archives and Recordkeeping Act, which bars government staffers from deleting emails, and the maximum fine for violating Ontario’s freedom of information law is $5,000.

So other than a fine that that is basically nothing, there is nothing that can happen?! How can there not be “something” to deter people from deleting what ever they want? I don’t know much about the laws involved in this but hope something will come of this.

Sure - but there are laws against destroying evidence. If they can recover any of the emails using warrants for phones and computers then that would probably be a problem for DF and his lackeys.

Really shocking: DF The Dealer and his cronies ignore the rules for fun and profit. Who’d have imagined? Ontario Place development, anyone?
