QUEEN’S PARK – Marit Stiles, Ontario NDP leader, is raising concerns about the questionable procurement processes behind Ford’s Ontario Place redevelopment project. Ontario NDP obtained documents that show a process rife with unusual rules.
“The people of Ontario should be able to count on their government to not make decisions in the dark about a beloved public gem like the Ontario Place,” said Stiles. “We dug up the details of an unusual and opaque procurement process, but questions about transparency when it comes to Ontario Place are not new. This deal smelled fishy right from the start, and the public deserves answers.
“This is a pattern of behaviour, from a government that likes operating in the dark and hiding things from the public. Ontario Place, the Science Centre, the Greenbelt – this government loves setting up processes and rules that benefit their insiders. It’s time for a government that puts transparency first.”
