OTTAWA, ON – Dr. Adil Shamji, MPP for Don Valley East and Ontario Liberal Housing Critic, released the following statement in response to changes to the Provincial Planning Statement:
“After six years of Doug Ford, his government continues to tinker with policies to make it look like he’s doing something about the housing crisis.
Today’s announcement will simply make it easier to promote urban sprawl rather than ensure the housing Ontario needs gets built. All it does is allow Doug Ford’s rich friends to pave over farmland while young people and seniors struggle to afford homes.”
