Earlier today, Ontario's Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark, announced the Government's Housing Supply Action Plan: "More Homes, More Choice" (the Plan), a package of legislative changes aimed at combatting Ontario's housing crisis.

The Plan seeks to improve housing supply and affordability by introducing new measures that focus on five themes: Speed: shortening the wait for development approvals; Cost: keeping application and permit costs predictable; Mix: increasing the mix of housing options; Rent: protecting tenants and incentivising the production of purpose-built rental housing; and Innovation: encouraging innovative design. Minister Clark remarked that the attainment of these goals would not come at the expense of public health and safety, the agricultural sector or the environment.
