Stiles: ‘People have gone to jail for deleting government emails’

Ontario NDP and Official Opposition Leader, Marit Stiles, responded to new information on the Greenbelt scandal that confirms staff deleted emails.

“Each new piece of evidence on the Greenbelt scandal is worse than the last. Deleting government emails is a crime. Let’s not forget that senior staff involved in the Liberals’ gas plant scandal went to jail for deleting emails.

Doug Ford needs to come clean and stop hiding information from the people of Ontario. Why did his staff delete emails about the Greenbelt scandal? What was in those emails? Now we’ll never know. Enough is enough. I hope the Information and Privacy Commissioner and the RCMP criminal investigation get to the bottom of this. People deserve to know the truth.”
