Ontario Premier Doug Ford, centre, responds to questions as members of Provincial Parliament returned to Queen’s Park for the fall session of the Ontario Legislature at Queen’s Park in Toronto on Monday, September 25, 2023.
Premier Doug Ford's climbdown on removing land from Ontario's protected Greenbelt for housing is expected to go into legislation on Monday.Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government is expected to table legislation on Monday to reverse its removals of land from the Greenbelt. The government gave certain developers approval to build housing in the protected area, but after independent investigations found the process flawed and unfair, Ford announced he will cancel the plan.
The PCs hoped the U-turn would put an end to the controversy. Those hopes have been dampened by new developments that suggest Ford's push to open up land for housing will remain in the spotlight for months, if not years:it will probe the government's ramped-up use of ministerial zoning orders to override public consultation on changes to land use.
"It's just hard to get the message out when you're dealing with a constant issues-management fire like where they are on the Greenbelt," Heimpel said in an interview with CBC News.The government doesn't actually need to bring in legislation to return the land to the Greenbelt.
"Until we know what the RCMP is investigating, which we do not at the present moment ... it's wildly inappropriate to speculate," said Heimpel.
