A Toronto Star investigative report published today sheds light on the fact that Ministerial Zoning Orders have not achieved the intended acceleration of housing starts during Premier Ford’s initial term, despite ongoing endorsements from the Conservative party.
Jeff Burch, the NDP’s Municipal Affairs critic and MPP for Niagara Centre, emphasizes the need to thoroughly investigate this issue and prioritize practical solutions for affordable housing.
He says while the Ontario NDP is actively proposing such solutions, it seems that Premier Ford leans towards supporting land speculators and personal acquaintances.
