Ontario has given out 18 Minister's Zoning Orders for developer projects to guests who attended a wedding of Premier Doug Ford's daughter last summer, the New Democrats said Monday
The land-planning tool can be used to fast-track development in a given area and the Progressive Conservative government has been criticized in the past for how often it uses the mechanism also known as an MZO."We've uncovered that Mr. Ford's Conservatives have issued as many MZOs to benefit attendees of a single Ford family wedding reception as the previous Liberal government handed out in 15 years," Stiles said.
"But where I want to go back and look are those that have not made any progress, that aren't meeting the goals of building housing." Ford has since reversed course on the Greenbelt, but the RCMP has launched an investigation into the matter. On the zoning orders highlighted by the NDP on Monday, nine of those 18 MZOs were given out to Flato Developments, which is owned by longtime Ford friend Shakir Rehmatullah, the New Democrats said.
"Flato has received MZOs because it has a consistent track record of progressing projects and developing much-needed housing across the province." The 18 zoning orders pointed out by the NDP largely enable development on farmland in the Toronto area.
