Ontario's Integrity Commissioner is recommending that Housing Minister Steve Clark be reprimanded for his role in the province's contentious Greenbelt land swap, calling it a "rushed and flawed process" marred by a "lack of oversight."

In a report issued Wednesday, David Wake said Clark failed to properly oversee the process that led to protected Greenbelt lands being selected for housing development, "leading to the private interests of certain developers being furthered improperly.

Forget resigning ... these people need to be put in jail.

This shit is just going to continue, forever, as it has my entire life, until we have and enforce REAL penalties for this kind of crap.

You can go to jail for doing similar things in the private sector ... I'm unsure which should be held to a higher standard tbh, but they should at least be in the same ballpark ... not this "you should resign." "no." bullshit.

Yeah, resigning isn't a punishment. It's a way of making sure you can't do it again. Punishment should come on top of that.

Well you're not going to get real penalties until voters stop acting like idiots, which just isn't going to happen.
