Since it was elected in October 2018, the Ford government has proposed and pushed through a myriad of Bills in an attempt to lessen the housing crisis in Ontario.
Bill 108, The More Homes, More Choice Act, is an omnibus bill containing extensive amendments to legislation related to housing development in Ontario, including substantial changes to the planning and appeal process, municipal revenue generation tools, and environmental protection.
Bill 109, The More Homes for Everyone Act, contains the legislation to implement Bill 108.
Bill 23, The More Homes Built Faster Act, is an omnibus bill that made fundamental changes to the land-use planning system in Ontario through changes to the Development Charges Act, Planning Act, Municipal Act, and others.
Today, we unpack Bill 185, The Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, another omnibus bill that introduces changes to 15 statutes, including key land-use planning legislation.
If you are concerned about responsible land-use planning and the democratic process, consider Bill 185 as the icing on this multi-layered chaos cake.
Our guest Kevin Thomason is the Vice-Chair of the Grand River Environmental Network.
He knows these bills inside and out.
The rapid changes in planning legislation has resulted in planning chaos in municipalities across the province.
