Opposition parties in Ontario are asking for investigations into land purchases made shortly before the provincial government’s announcement that a portion of the Greenbelt would be open to development.

Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner filed a complaint with the Integrity Commissioner Nov. 28. NDP MPP Marit Stiles submitted a request to the Auditor General on Nov. 25 asking for a probe. The Auditor’s office told The Epoch Times it has not yet decided whether it will investigate.
