The minister responsible for attainable housing has moved on from his file after spending nine months in charge of something that did not have an official definition.
Nine months after Ontario Premier Doug Ford created a junior cabinet position that would be focused on “attainable housing” in the province, the minister responsible has been moved out of the role before the government even defined what attainable housing meant.
Ontario NDP housing critic Jessica Bell said the fact the government has shuffled the man responsible for attainable housing before even defining the term shows it has its priorities wrong.“I worry that moving ministers out of the housing file sends a message the government has other priorities and they’re not taking the housing crisis seriously enough,” she told Global News.
“They’re coming out with what attainable housing is, we’re working with stakeholders,” Ford said on Feb. 22. With attainable housing dropped from the public materials about Ford’s new cabinet, and the term now two years without a definition, critics suggest the lack of a definition is delaying developers who may want to build attainable homes in exchange for fee breaks.
