		Sorbara is on the hot seat for waiting over two months to disclose the fact that Royal Group Technologies, a company on whose Board of Directors he served for the ten years before being sworn in as a minister, was under investigation by both the police and the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC).
		On February 26, Sorbara declared that “while the OSC's investigation is being conducted I've asked the premier to assign another minister responsibility for the OSC.” This decision was endorsed in a letter to Sorbara by Integrity Commissioner Coulter Osborne, but the letter merely raised more questions.
		According to Sorbara, the key issue was “why it took months before the public was alerted” — which seems to be precisely the issue in the current scandal.

		Consumer Minister Greg Sorbara {in the David Peterson, Ontario Liberal government,} is part-owner of two North York apartment buildings where 650 tenants face a proposed 52 per cent rent hike.
		The Sorbara family is using a loophole in the province's rent review law to jack up rents at 5000 Jane St. and 4001 Steeles Ave.
