Ontario's privacy commissioner to investigate Greenbelt email use after NDP leader raises concern about Premier and staffers' personal phone and email usage.

Ontario's privacy commissioner will investigate the use of non-government emails and deleted messages related to the Greenbelt, after NDP Leader Marit Stiles raised concerns about Premier and government staffers' use of personal phones and emails on the issue. The Doug Ford government removed land from the protected Greenbelt in late 2022, but reversed course after public outcry and findings that the process favored certain developers. The RCMP is now investigating the Greenbelt removal process.
