    A company controlled by Rice paid $80 million for five parcels of land in the Township of King, located about 50 kilometres north of Toronto, on Sept. 15 last year — less than two months before the Ford government announced sections of that land, which were protected, would be opened for housing and other development.

    Rice’s application argues he shouldn’t be compelled to testify because the request for documents is “overbroad” and some are potentially commercially sensitive.

    Hmmm… I wonder what commercially sensitive correspondence he doesn’t want shared

        It feels as though politically and commercially sensitive are one and the same with this government unfortunately. Besides, nothing screams honesty and trustworthiness like declaring yourself the most honest and trustworthy.

      A movie line comes to mind…

      Fletcher: Your honor, I object!

      Judge: And why is that Mr. Reed?

      Fletcher: Because it’s devastating to my case!
