The Ontario government’s process for choosing which parts of the Greenbelt to open for housing development was “biased” and did not show “effective land-use planning,” says the province’s Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk.
Ms. Lysyk found that the selection of 15 land sites opened for development “favoured certain developers.” About 67 percent of the land is on sites two developers spoke to the housing minister’s chief of staff, Ryan Amato, about at an industry function they all attended in September 2022, Ms. Lysyk said.
