I want to thank the Minister of Economic Development. He often comes to Barrie and meets with our local manufacturers.

When speaking to this bill, I talked about Linamar transportation, and the minister is very familiar with Linamar transportation and has done a lot of work with them. Something I mentioned in this Legislature that they have trouble with is, when they’re trying to recruit workers, oftentimes the impediment is trying to find attainable housing in the community that they’re trying to bring the workers into. So I want to ask the minister how this bill and all of what we’re doing to build more housing is going to help the manufacturing sectors and employers like Linamar transportation with attracting more of those workers.
