Say goodbye to the Toronto rules that have preserved huge cuts of the map for single-family houses. The decision is an upheaval of Toronto’s long-standing “yellowbelt” — the roughly 70 per cent of Toronto’s zoned residential land that has been restricted to single-family homes only. Others rebutted that Toronto desperately needs more housing — lest people be forced to leave the city where they’ve grown up — and that multiplexes were a good option for multi-generational families. Targeted policies could include subsidies, or priority timelines for development approval, if a multiplex owner entered an agreement with the city to provide affordable housing, Case said. “It’s actually increasing the supply, the choice, the opportunity for housing,” Lintern said of the city’s goals, also noting the chance for multi-generational living.

- Nova Scotia’s government is providing some of its surplus land in an Annapolis Valley village to help defray the cost of building 24 co-operative housing units. Project consultant Earl Mielke says the province’s donation will make the project viable, adding that purchasing the land would have cost about $1 million. Premier Tim Houston has argued that the best way to reduce the widespread shortages of affordable housing is to take a wide approach to increasing the supply across all income levels. However, NDP Leader Claudia Chender has argued that the province needs to be moving more quickly to address housing shortages and resume building some public housing on its own.

Asked whether he thinks the government ought to call a public inquiry into foreign interference, Chiu said yes.
