NDP ask Ontario AG for new probe on land plans

The NDP is calling for an investigation by the auditor general's office into Ontario's expansion of municipal boundaries, citing evidence that certain developers received preferential treatment in the process.
The NDP is specifically requesting a value-for-money audit to assess the financial and environmental impacts of urban boundary expansions and Ministerial Zoning Orders, and to evaluate whether decisions were evidence-based and consistent with provincial plans.
The RCMP is reviewing information to determine if an investigation into the Greenbelt land swap is warranted, while Premier Ford maintains that he believes no criminal activity occurred.
