Portions of the “Premier’s briefing” include a detailed map of an alternate route which would have involved moving portions of the highway north and eliminating an interchange altogether, in order to unlock developable lands. Those lands, Global News has confirmed through property and corporate records, belong to Nick Cortellucci — a member of the prominent Ontario-based development family which has a documented history of donating to the Ontario PC Party and benefiting from government decision-making in the form of a Minister’s Zoning Order in 2021.
