Claiming the city is falling short on its promise to ramp up density, Federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson is threatening to pull some of Toronto’s housing funding.

In a letter to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow earlier this week, Robertson wrote that he’s disappointed by a recent decision to limit where builders can put up to six housing units on a lot.
