The Ontario government is creating a group to implement recommendations made in the auditor general's report

The province says it's creating a working group to deal with fallout from the Greenbelt probe.

A memo from the Premier's office says all cabinet submissions to address the recommendations must be complete and include options and risks.

This comes as the province works to implement 14 recommendations from the province's Auditor General.

Bonnie Lysyk's report found that the process of opening up the Greenbelt was biased toward certain prominent developers.
