Ontario's Housing Minister Steve Clark resigned on Monday due to the Greenbelt controversy.

The opposition was constantly demanding Clark's resignation.

Premier Doug Ford made a minor cabinet reshuffle on Monday afternoon following Clarke's resignation.

Paul Calandra has been named Ontario's new housing minister.

Prior to this Paul had the Ministry of Long Term Care.

Caroline Mulroney is now the President of the Treasury Board.

Prabhmeet Sarkaria has been made the new Transport Minister of the state.

Nina Tangri has been appointed Associate Minister of Small Business.

It is worth mentioning that Steve Clark also apologized for his role in the controversial Greenbelt deal.

Ontario's Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake said in his report that Clark had breached two sections of the Members' Integrity Act during the process of removing land from the Greenbelt for construction.

Last year, the province removed 7,400 acres of greenbelt land to build 50,000 homes and replaced it with about 9,400 acres elsewhere.

The Integrity Commissioner found that there was undue haste and fraud in the process of removing the greenbelt land.
