BURLINGTON, ON
There is at least one person leaning on Premier Ford about the RCMP asking witnesses what they knew and didn’t nor or what they did and didn’t do>
NDP Leader of the Opposition Marit Stiles asked today in a media release if Premier Doug Ford will come clean about his role in the Greenbelt scandal as the RCMP investigation continues and key Conservative staffers face questioning.
Premier Ford with his full cabinet on display announces his plan to scrap the plans that were secretly made to develop large swaths of the greenbelt.
“Doug Ford and his government bent the rules to benefit a wealthy few when he moved to carve up the Greenbelt – and now he’s under criminal investigation for it.
But Ford doesn’t have to wait for the RCMP probe to be complete – he can and should come clean now about his role in this scheme:
When exactly did the Premier first know about the plans to remove land from the Greenbelt?
Who directed staff to illegally delete emails related to the Greenbelt?
Who ordered code words to be used to evade Freedom of Information requests?
NDP Leader of the Ontario Opposition
Why won’t the Premier release his personal phone records related to this case?
People deserve so much better. Because on the Greenbelt, just like the Liberals’ Gas Plants, the truth will come out.”
There is an opportunity for the Premier to come clean when he speaks to the large gathering expected to hear what he has to say in Milton on Friday.
