"Premier Doug Ford says the province will review and “re-evaluate” all lands in the Greenbelt — including those that are part of controversial land-swap deals that have engulfed the government and forced the resignations of a cabinet minister and his chief of staff."

The Auditor General's report suggested the government re-evaluate the 14 parcels that were slated for removal from the Greenbelt. But they are "not pausing development on the 14 parcels"; they're re-evaluating all lands in the Greenbelt. So it sounds like Doug is doubling down on disregarding the AG's suggestion by instead looking for more to remove.

Seems like a cheap trick to act like they're listening to reason, while doing the exact opposite.
