Ontario’s auditor general is set to release the results of her investigation digging into Premier Doug Ford’s controversial Greenbelt land swap today.
The Ford government removed environmental protections on approximately 2,995 hectares of Greenbelt land in December — while adding more land elsewhere — to build 50,000 homes. It’s part of its plan to build 1.5 million new homes in the next decade to ease Ontario’s housing crisis.
Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk agreed in January to look into the financial and environmental impacts of that decision following a request from the leaders of all three opposition parties.
Lysyk is set to publicly release her findings at an 11 a.m. ET
