The recitals
- the City of Ottawa’s Auditor General on November 27, 2023, presented her findings (“the report”) from the Investigation of Allegations Related to Planning Activities for the Conservancy Development
- the findings of the report identified an inappropriate effort on the part of some City of Ottawa staff to sway the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s (RVCA’s) approval of a cut-and-fill permit for the development in Barrhaven known as “The Conservancy”
- questions have been raised among Members of Council and among the public with respect to the subsequent approval of that permit that call into question the appropriateness of the decision-making process
