Ford expected to face questions over greenbelt development

The Ontario legislature is back in session today as it returns from its winter break.

The province is expected to introduce legislation containing health reforms promised last month.

However Premier Doug Ford's relationship with developers will likely hang over the new session.

Ford and his housing minister have denied any wrongdoing after the province opened up parts of the greenbelt last fall to make way for more housing.

Ontario's opposition parties have said they will push the government on the changes.
