Stiles: A victory for Ontarians, but it doesn’t clear the air on a government that stinks

QUEEN’S PARK – Marit Stiles, the Leader of the Official Opposition, released the following statement on the Ford Conservatives’ eleventh-hour decision to reverse the Greenbelt Grab:

“This is a victory for Ontarians, who fought long and hard to get this government to reverse their corrupt decision to carve up the Greenbelt.

It was clear from the beginning that this was the wrong decision, and yet Ford’s Conservatives pressed on. It was a calculated attempt by this government to benefit a select few of their insiders at the expense of everyone else.

And Mr. Ford continues to dodge responsibility as the Premier of this province, especially as this whole scandal has pulled back the curtain on a government all too comfortable making backroom deals.

This reversal won’t clear the air on a government that Ontarians know stinks."
