Greenbelt Scandal,Ontario Politics,Politics

Ontario's integrity commissioner said in his annual report that he was asked to deliver several rounds of ethics training after the Greenbelt scandal raised questions.

In his annual report, Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake said the premier’s office asked him to refresh chiefs of staff on the rules around conflict of interest after the scandal, as well as more training initiatives he was asked to put on at the start of the year.

Former housing minister Steve Clark and his chief of staff were among those forced to resign during the scandal, which ultimately saw Ford abandon the plan and apologize for his attempts to take land out of the Greenbelt.Both Wake and Ontairo’s auditor general found wide-ranging issues with the Greenbelt process in separate investigations released in August 2023.Wake said the Greenbelt plan was “marked by misinterpretation, unnecessary hastiness and deception.

The government ultimately accepted all 15 of the recommendations made by Ontario’s auditor general, including plans to implement training on the use of personal email accounts for government business and for more proactive requests to the integrity commissioner to determine conflicts of interest.
