The memo dated April 2023 was provided to the media by the official opposition on Wednesday. NDP Leader Marit Stiles said it was provided to them by “somebody inside the government.”

It has not been independently confirmed by CTV News Toronto.

The documents outline the effects of the boundary modifications, as well as possible contentious issues and mitigation tactics.

“It's an internal government briefing note that shows the government knew its decisions to unilaterally expand urban boundaries to pave over green space and farmland were wrong, that they were based on input from speculators and not evidence,” Stiles said on Wednesday morning.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I figured was going on with the green belt fiasco. They just didn't expect people to care as much as they did, and they didn't expect the corruption to be exposed.
