A day after the resignation of the chief of staff to Ontario’s Housing Minister, the Ontario Provincial Police said it has referred the investigation into the Greenbelt scandal to the RCMP due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
“To avoid any potential perceived conflict of interest, the OPP referred this matter to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP),” said OPP spokesman Bill Dickson on Aug. 23. “In order to protect the integrity of the process, it would not be appropriate to provide any further comment.”
