“Not so sunny days,” Stiles slams Conservatives for failed housing record

QUEEN’S PARK – Marit Stiles, Ontario NDP Leader, slammed the Ford Conservatives’ abysmal housing record in the province’s latest fiscal update after the Minister of Finance claimed it was ‘sunny days’ in the province’s economic outlook:

“It is clear as day that housing is no longer a priority for the Ford government, if it ever was,” said Stiles. “They wasted years on the Greenbelt scheme, ignored the advice of their own task force, refused to legalize fourplexes, and they’ve come nowhere close to meeting their targets.”

“It’s time to change course. If Ford and his Conservatives cannot get homes built, they need to get out of the way for a government that will. New Democrats have a bold plan to get Ontario building affordable homes again, doubling the supply and getting more people housed, faster. It’s called Homes Ontario.

“On November 4, Doug Ford and his Conservatives will have a choice: support the most ambitious home-building program in a generation or stick with a failed housing plan that is leaving people without a roof over their head.”
