“ONTARIANS DESERVE TO KNOW THE FULL STORY OF HOW $8.3 BILLION FLOWED INTO THE HANDS OF DEVELOPERS CONNECTED TO THE PREMIER AND THE PC PARTY.” – Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner
A Statement from Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner

Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner
Under Doug Ford’s watch, accountability and transparency have gone out the window in the name of favours to wealthy, well-connected elites.
Meanwhile, precious farmland and forests and wetlands are still being removed from the Greenbelt, and wealthy land speculators are still cashing in.
Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk’s special report (released earlier this August, 2023) on the Greenbelt found that “direct access to the housing minister’s chief of staff resulted in certain prominent developers receiving preferential treatment” with regards to the process of selecting which lands were to be removed from the Greenbelt.
Let’s get the truth out into the open .
I’m encouraged that multiple agencies are now investigating Ford’s Greenbelt giveaway – the Auditor General, Integrity Commission, Privacy Commissioner and, potentially, the RCMP.
But certain details uncovered by the Auditor General raise significant governance and public policy questions that can only be answered through a full public investigation.
That’s why I wrote to Premier Ford last week demanding a full public inquiry.
ONTARIANS DESERVE TO KNOW THE FULL STORY OF HOW $8.3 BILLION FLOWED INTO THE HANDS OF DEVELOPERS CONNECTED TO THE PREMIER AND THE PC PARTY.
Will (everyone reading this) write to Doug Ford to support my call for a public inquiry?
Sincerely, MIKE SCHREINER, Leader, Ontario Greens
