Deleted Greenbelt Emails Getting Some Attention

Report coming on use of non-government emails and deleted messages.

Ontario's privacy commissioner says she will publish a special report about the use of non-government emails and deleted messages related to the Greenbelt.

In late 2022, the Doug Ford government removed land from the protected Greenbelt to build 50-thousand homes.

Ford reversed course on that plan after months of public outcry.

N-D-P Leader Marit Stiles had asked to investigate the premier and government staffers' reported use of personal phones and emails on the controversial file.

The RCMP is now investigating the Greenbelt removal process.

The privacy commissioner did not provide a timeline on when her special report would be published.
