Canada's construction news

Ontario Premier Doug Ford swapped his energy and education ministers in a cabinet shuffle Thursday and brought a minister who resigned over the Greenbelt controversy back into the fold.

“In order to grow the economy, with millions of people coming to our shores and significant industry moving to Ontario, including the fact that under our previous leadership, we’ve put on the map as one of the primary destinations for EV construction,” he said Thursday. Steve Clark, who resigned last fall as municipal affairs and housing minister amid the Greenbelt controversy, has been appointed government house leader. It’s not a cabinet position, but is a key role within the government, as that person frequently fields the questions in question period.

Auditor general Bonnie Lysyk found that developers who had access to Clark’s chief of staff, Ryan Amato, wound up with 92 per cent of the land taken out of the Greenbelt. Amato has denied all wrongdoing.New Democrat Leader Marit Stiles said the moves mean little after a year of scandal and policy reversals.
