In his first day on the job, Ontario’s new Housing Minister Paul Calandra said the government will not only be conducting a complete review of the Greenbelt but will also implement other policies and measures aimed at getting shovels in the ground. Calan
Angela GismondiSCREENSHOT — Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Paul Calandra spoke for the first time since he was named to the post today . Calandra was appointed following the resignation of Steve Clark who stepped down after a report by the Integrity Commissioner found he should have had more oversight into deciding which lands were removed from the Greenbelt.
Calandra assumed the position after Steve Clark resigned Sept. 4 following two reports from the auditor general and the integrity commissioner that found the housing minister’s chief of staff favoured certain developers over others when selecting which lands would be removed from the Greenbelt. Calandra said the review is mandatory and had to take place by 2025, but it’s being accelerated to begin almost immediately.
“Shovels in the ground by 2025 is what my expectation is on those sites ,but if they don’t meet the requirements under the mandated Greenbelt review as well…then they will not proceed and we will remove those lands from the Greenbelt.”“I have spoken to the provincial facilitator,” Calandra said.
