NEW: The Ontario government is establishing a working group to deal with fallout of the Greenbelt probe.
a damning auditor general's reportA memo from Premier Doug Ford's chief of staff and the secretary of the cabinet to ministers' chiefs of staff and deputy ministers says all cabinet submissions to address the recommendations must be complete and include options and risks during the approval process.
Last year, the province took 7,400 acres of land out of the Greenbelt and replaced it with about 9,400 acres elsewhere. "A comprehensive response to the report is a top priority and a working group is being established to support implementation," the memo said. Lysyk found the Greenbelt removal was done far too quickly over a three-week period and the entire process was largely controlled by Amato.Both Ford and Clark have denied they tipped off developers before they removed land from the Greenbelt and said they have not received any benefit from that decision.
