Premier Doug Ford is putting his trust in Elgin-Middlesex London MPP Rob Flack to help get the government out of the Greenbelt scandal and build homes.
In a Monday cabinet shuffle, Flack was appointed associate minister of housing, and will work alongside Paul Calandra, the new housing minister.
"We have great associate ministers with Rob Flack, one of the brightest business minds at Queen's Park to help build homes,” said Ford
Flack — who was the assistant to the minister of agriculture — will report to Calandra, and have a specific mandate on attainable housing and modular homes.
He was given the appointment just hours after housing minister Steve Clark stepped down.
"He's here to clean up a real mess,” said Jaquetta Newman, a political science professor at Kings University College.
Newman believes Flack's rural and agriculture background could be a benefit when it comes to the Greenbelt, however, the Ministry of Housing is massive portfolio right now.
