Speaker, my question is to the Minister of the Environment.

This week, Superior Court Judge Marie-Andrée Vermette issued a decision on a legal challenge filed against Ontario by seven young Ontarians for the weakness of its climate targets. She found that Ontario’s target “falls severely short” of what the scientific consensus requires and that this increases the risk to Ontarians’ life and health.

Why won’t the minister act to protect the life and health of Ontarians?

What will it take for this government to actually protect the health and lives of the people of this province?

Madam Speaker, we all know that the purchase of a home is probably one of the largest purchases that people will make in their lifetime. When you’re embarking on that purchase, especially as a young person, you embark on that purchase with excitement, but also trepidation, because it involves a lot of money and it’s probably the first major purchase you’ve made in your entire lifetime.

I know that this government is taking steps to protect homebuyers and to make sure that that trepidation and that excitement can be controlled, protecting homebuyers to make sure that the home-purchasing experience is safe. And so, I would like to ask the member from Windsor–Tecumseh: What measures are being taken by this government to protect homebuyers in the biggest purchase they’ll probably ever make in their entire lifetime?

I’d like to thank the member from Parkdale–High Park for her presentation on Bill 97, Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act.

We look at the title of this, and it talks about protecting tenants, but I do believe that there are quite a number of pieces missing which actually protect tenants. My question to the member is: If this government truly wanted to support tenants, what would they do?

I appreciated the comments from my colleague and her perspective on the Toronto housing crisis. I wondered what would be the one thing she would like to see the government do that would actually protect tenants in this province—
