Commissioner J. David Wake recommended Steve Clark be sanctioned by members of the Legislature
Ontario Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark violated ethics rules over the government’s decision to remove select lands from the Greenbelt and led to the interests of certain developers being “furthered improperly,” the province’s integrity commissioner says.
Mr. Wake found that the minister failed to properly oversee the process by which 3,000 hectares of land were removed from the province’s protected Greenbelt. The province’s decision late last year to remove 15 parcels of land from the Greenbelt to allow for development has been met with significant criticism from opposition politicians and environmental groups.
Mr. Amato resigned from his position last week, just a day before the Ontario Provincial Police announced it was referring a probe into a possible criminal investigation on the matter to the RCMP. Kathryn Marshall, Mr. Amato’s lawyer, said her client had no comment about the integrity commissioner’s report.
