First Nations Leaders in Ontario unanimously passed a resolution opposing the removal of land from the Greenbelt for housing development. They demand that the land be returned to the Greenbelt and that Housing Minister Steve Clark resign or be removed. The chiefs argue that the changes directly affect their treaty and constitutionally protected rights, and that Indigenous communities were not properly consulted. Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk's report found that the government's process for choosing which sites to remove favored well-connected developers. The controversy has triggered a potential RCMP investigation and an investigation by Ontario's integrity commissioner.
