Ontario’s integrity commissioner says he will investigate a complaint against Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark and his decision to open the protected Greenbelt to housing development.
A complaint from incoming NDP leader Marit Stiles asks the commissioner to look into what she calls “curious timing of recent purchases of Greenbelt land by powerful landowners with donor and political ties to the Ontario PC Party.” She cites media reports that some developers bought that land over the past few years despite Clark and the premier previously publicly saying it wouldn’t be developed, with one purchase happening as recently as September, two months before Clark announced he’d open the lands up.Clark announced in November that the government will remove land from 15 different areas of the protected Greenbelt, while adding acres elsewhere so that 50,000 homes can be built.
Stiles asked the integrity commissioner to investigate whether Clark broke ethics rules around making a public policy decision to further someone’s private interests. Clark and Premier Doug Ford have both denied tipping off developers ahead of the public announcement.

Ontario integrity commissioner to investigate whether government tipped off Greenbelt developersThe Ontario Integrity Commissioner will open an investigation into whether the province’s housing minister tipped off developers ahead of revealing their plans to open up the Greenbelt. Who cares, it’s only a small fine, just ask Justin. What about environmentalists that get tipped off about projects and destroy 1000s of jobs? Might find no evidence. The fact they bought land that was undevelpable shortly before change in policy is obvious that we’re tipped. Not necessarily by politicians but someone who had access to information about upcoming policy.
