TORONTO – The RCMP has launched an investigation into the Ontario government’s decision to open up parts of the protected Greenbelt for housing development.
In January, the Ontario Provincial Police said it was working to determine whether it should investigate and in August the force referred the matter to the RCMP out of concern over a perceived conflict of interest. Two legislative watchdogs examining the government’s land swap found the process to select which lands were removed from the Greenbelt was flawed and favoured certain developers.
Premier Doug Ford has apologized for the land swap and said in September that the 15 parcels of removed land would all be returned to the Greenbelt.The premier’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
