The chief of staff to Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark has resigned.
Ryan Amato’s resignation comes after a report from the Auditor General found developers who had access to the chief of staff ended up with 92 per cent of the land which was removed from the protected Greenbelt.
Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk’s report found the process of selecting the 15 sites to be removed from the Greenbelt for housing development was not transparent.
Lysyk says in her report she found all but one of the sites were suggested by Amato who was given packages at an industry event by two key developers instead of civil servants.
Premier Doug Ford says no one was given preferential treatment.
