Ontario Housing Minister Steve Clark apologized Thursday for his role in the government's Greenbelt land swap, a day after the province's integrity commissioner found he violated two sections of the Members Integrity Act.
Nov. 4, 2022: Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark announces via news release that Ontario would remove 7,400 acres in 15 different areas of the Greenbelt, while adding 9,400 acres elsewhere, in order to build 50,000 homes. It contradicted a pledge he made in 2021 not to open up the Greenbelt"to any kind of development."
Jan. 6, 2023: Ontario Provincial Police say they're working to determine whether they should investigate the matter. March 16: The integrity commissioner temporarily sets aside the stag-and-doe request, saying there is overlap with the Greenbelt investigation that's already underway. The commissioner says he and his staff are reviewing the"extensive material" gathered so far, have done independent research, and are preparing summonses for numerous witnesses to be interviewed.
Aug. 14: Ford's office says it is creating a working group to implement Lysyk's recommendations on improving processes. Aug. 28: First Nation chiefs across the province call on Ford to return land to the Greenbelt. The Chiefs of Ontario say they are angered they were not consulted on the land swap that involves several First Nations traditional territories. The Chiefs of Ontario say the Greenbelt moves violate the Williams Treaties that were settled with the province and the federal government in 2018.
