Bonnie Lysyk says some developers were favoured in the plan, which also ignored environmental, agricultural and financial concerns
Ontario's auditor general says the province's decision to open up Greenbelt land for housing favoured developers connected to the Ministry of Housing.
Bonnie Lysyk also claims the province also didn't consider the environmental, agricultural and financial risks of the decision.
She says owners of the 15 sites removed from the Greenbelt could see an $8.3 billion increase in land value, and the majority of the sites were brought in by the housing minister's chief of staff.
The probe started in January, after the province's opposition leaders made the request to Lysyk.
Some media reports have suggested that some developers who donated to the PC party bought Greenbelt land, despite previous claims it wouldn't be developed.
However, Premier Doug Ford and Housing Minister Steve Clark have both denied the allegations.
