Ontario Housing Minister Steve Clark has tendered his resignation from his cabinet role, saying the housing crisis in the province “demands someone who is not a distraction from the important work that needs to be done.”
“Although my initial thought was that I could stay in this role and establish a proper process so that these mistakes don’t happen again, I realize that my presence will only cause a further distraction from the important work that needs to be done and that I need to take accountability for what has transpired,” he said in a letter to Premier Doug Ford on Sept. 4.
