Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Dec. 1 that neither he nor anyone associated with his government gave advance notice to developers who bought land in the Greenbelt before it became open for development.

Earlier in the week, opposition parties had requested both the Auditor General and the Integrity Commissioner look into the matter. Developers had purchased land in a portion of the Greenbelt that the government later announced would become open for development.
