Minister's Zoning Orders (MZOs)2021>$3B
Beneficiary
National Observer's investigation into Ford government MZOs found Mattamy Homes among developers that donated to Ontario Proud/PC party and subsequently benefited from a ministerial zoning order — specifically for the Mayfield West Phase 2 Stage 2 development in Caledon, which received an MZO fast-tracking approval.
Donor
$100,000
Mattamy Homes donated $100,000 to Ontario Proud, a pro-PC third-party advertiser, ahead of the 2018 election that brought Doug Ford to power. The donation drew controversy because Ontario had recently banned corporate donations to political candidates. Mattamy later stated it regretted the donation and would not repeat it.
