QUEEN'S PARK—Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles is calling on Premier Doug Ford to come clean about his role in the Greenbelt scandal as the RCMP investigation continues and key Conservative staffers face questioning.
“Doug Ford and his government bent the rules to benefit a wealthy few when he moved to carve up the Greenbelt – and now he’s under criminal investigation for it.
But Ford doesn’t have to wait for the RCMP probe to be complete – he can and should come clean now about his role in this scheme:
When exactly did the Premier first know about the plans to remove land from the Greenbelt?
Who directed staff to illegally delete emails related to the Greenbelt?
Who ordered code words to be used to evade Freedom of Information requests?
Why won’t the Premier release his personal phone records related to this case?
People deserve so much better. Because on the Greenbelt, just like the Liberals’ Gas Plants, the truth will come out.”
