Chris has been fighting for affordable housing, an end to homelessness, supports for small businesses and workers, and a just transition to a green economy. He's brought forward legislation to build 100,000 affordable and supportive housing units; to convert OSAP loans to grants and eliminate interest on student debt; to mandate bird-friendly design to protect Ontario's biosecurity; and so much more.
