Monte McNaughton is the third cabinet minister to resign in the wake of the Ontario government’s controversial plan to allow Greenbelt land development - a decision which Premier Doug Ford reversed just yesterday
The Premier apologized to the public and said it was a mistake to open up development in the environmentally protected zone that arcs around the Greater Toronto Area. He admitted that the process for choosing the land left his government open to allegations of wrongdoing.
He said the process left too much room for some people to benefit over others. “It caused people to question our motives. As a first step to earn back your trust, I’ll be reversing the changes we made and won’t make any changes to the Greenbelt in the future,” he said. “This is a government in complete and utter disarray, fractured after lurching from scandal to scandal,” Ms. Stiles said in a statement. “Ford’s Conservatives are now down three Cabinet ministers in just three weeks.”
