Kaleed Rasheed has stepped down

A member of Premier Doug Ford's cabinet has stepped down and left caucus.

Kaleed Rasheed has resigned from his role as minister of public and business service delivery.

During his investigation into the Greenbelt land swap, the province's integrity commissioner interviewed Rasheed about a trip.

Reports show Rasheed visited Las Vegas at the same time as a developer who benefited from the Greenbelt land swap.

Rasheed told the commissioner they were on separate trips but encountered each other there.

However, several media outlets report the pair booked massages for the same time.
