The federal housing minister wouldn’t commit Tuesday to a Liberal election campaign promise to push cities to cut the fees that help fund local infrastructure.

In Toronto for an announcement, Housing Minister Gregor Robertson did not answer directly when asked whether the Liberals are still committed to their promise to cut municipal development charges in half to lower the cost of homebuilding.
