Halifax police investigating Monday morning Dartmouth death as suspicious | SaltWire #newsupdateOTTAWA – The federal Liberals are threatening to cancel $357 million in promised housing funds from the Ontario government because it said the province has an insufficient plan for building affordable units.
Ontario pledged to build nearly 20,000 units of social housing under the proposal, but is failing to meet that target Fraser argued and the new plan just pushes the problem down the road. “Ontario respectfully expects to be treated by the federal government as the true and equal partner. Withholding funding would simply be a punitive measure that will benefit no one,” he said.
Calandra said the Ontario government and municipalities has focused on keeping the existing social housing stock in good repair, because Ontario has the oldest social housing in the country and because high interest rates makes repairs more cost effective than new builds.
