The Ontario provincial government passed Bill 23 on Nov. 28, a controversial housing bill that will set a goal of the construction of 1.5 million new homes in the next 10 years.
The More Homes Built Faster Act was introduced last month to address the province’s housing crisis. The bill will remove development charges for affordable and nonprofit housing. It will also override some municipal zoning laws and waive some development fees, community benefits charges, and parkland levies.
