Ontario’s Housing Minister Steps Down Following Greenbelt Land Swap Scandal

Housing Minister Steve Clark has tendered his resignation following the findings of Ontario’s integrity commissioner that he violated ethics rules in the Greenbelt land swap scandal involving the Ford government. In a published letter, Clark stated that his involvement in the Greenbelt decision and subsequent investigations became a distraction from the ministry’s efforts to address the housing affordability crisis. He expressed his commitment to ministerial accountability but acknowledged that he could no longer continue in his role. Ontario Premier Doug Ford thanked Clark for his service and announced a mini cabinet reshuffle. Clark’s resignation came after intense pressure and damning reports from the auditor general and the integrity commissioner. Opposition parties welcomed the resignation and called for further action, including reversing the Greenbelt land swap.
