The Ontario government says it has decided not to go ahead with a bill that would have allowed landlords in the province to evict tenants once their leases are up.

Bill 60, the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, was introduced Oct. 23 in Ontario’s legislature, but only days later on Oct. 26, Housing Minister Rob Flack said the government will not be moving ahead with the proposed changes.
