Councillors have voted in favour of a motion requesting the RCMP look into the Province’s decision to open up 2,200 hectares of Hamilton's rural areas for housing development.The City of Hamilton is asking the RCMP to include the Ford government's decision to expand urban boundaries in its investigation of the Province's Greenbelt scandal.
The motion, brought forward by Councillor Maureen Wilson, says that Hamilton city staff were not consulted on the changes, and were not given an opportunity to review or respond to the proposed amendments. "Unlike a cabinet, which does things behind closed doors, we have both the blessing and the curse of to do everything publicly. And so the purpose of my motion is not to impugn or suggest, the purpose of my motion is to state that the residents of Hamilton are deserving of the information, are deserving of accountability."
Recently appointed Minister of Housing Paul Calandra has overseen the two major turnarounds. He assumed the position following Steve Clark's resignation amid the Greenbelt land swap scandal. Clark was found to have violated multiple sections of the Members' Integrity Act for his failure to properly oversee the Greenbelt land selection process, which was found to have been biased and rushed, and gave preferential treatment to certain developers.
