Dear Editor:
“Our government remains steadfast in our commitment to protect the Greenbelt for future generations.”
“My commitment to protecting the Greenbelt has not changed.”
– Minister Steve Clark
“We won’t touch the Greenbelt.”
– Premier Doug Ford
These statements have been proven to be lies, and promises broken in a damaging and corrupt manner. One person has resigned. Two more, the premier and the minister, need to follow prior to the Integrity Commissioner’s report and the RCMP investigation. The reputation of the Progressive Conservative party is at stake, as it is severely tarnished presently.
The land must be returned to the Greenbelt for a myriad of reasons, including the flawed process and play-to-pay profit to flow to rich friends who were getting insider information and/or dictating to the ministry which parcels of land were to be designated for development.
This was recommendation number 15 from Bonnie Lysyk’s damning report. Please follow up quickly and save some degree of integrity to clean up this mess.
Mr. Clark used to stand in the House and demand Liberal members resign for much less! His turn now. This is a violation of the Planning Act, removing these lands without due process. It is a breach of trust as well as shamefully dishonest.
The Chiefs of Ontario statement sums up the situation well. I look forward to hearing the results of their meeting with Minister Greg Rickford.
The party needs to act rather than using talking points about housing that have no basis! Act soon please.
Donna McCaw,
