The Greenbelt review with David Crombie
The Greenbelt news cycle never ends.
Paul Calandra replaced Steve Clark as housing minister after the latter resigned in the wake of two reports highly critical of his role in the land swap.
Calandra didn't waste any time in making some news. He and Premier Doug Ford announced the government will forge ahead with plans to build houses on the 14 parcels of land removed from the protected area last fall.
The province will also launch a full-scale review of the Greenbelt that could see more land taken out.
David Crombie, former mayor of Toronto and federal cabinet minister, chaired the 2015-2017 Greenbelt review and walks us through that process to see what clues it might hold for whatever comes next.
