Premier Doug Ford secretly handed 15 parcels of protected Greenbelt farmland to well-connected developers through a three-week backroom process — a windfall worth $8.3 billion to those developers — and only reversed it after the Auditor General publicly exposed the scheme.

As City of Pickering spokesperson, Guinto told CBC in August 2026 that the city has received more than $15 million from the Building Faster Fund but no Greenbelt reimbursement. Single-sourced to CBC's reporting.
