I want to ask the member about the economic statement. I have a long-standing issue in my riding, and I’m sure everyone here in this chamber has heard that elderly parents, senior parents who have adult children with development disabilities—there is no housing plan for supportive housing for these adult children. These parents are looking after them. I have such a story that I want to share, but I won’t have time today—basically, they aged out. The parents had to go to long-term-care homes. Their daughter, who has an adult development disability, cannot get into Community Living supportive housing. Where is that in this budget? Can the member please talk about that?

I thank the honourable member for the question.

The consultation that the government has engaged in is for a very important purpose: We have a crisis in housing in our province.

We are proposing to remove 15 areas from the greenbelt, and in exchange, we’re going to be adding over 2,000 acres. Many of those thousands of acres will be prime agricultural land that we’ll add in as part of the Paris Galt moraine and the urban river valleys. The government is taking a balanced approach.

Again, when you look at the fact that last year was our best year in over 30 years—we only had 100,000 starts. The proposal that we put forward to Ontarians to consider will allow, as a minimum, 50,000 homes to be built. In addition, we will add significant opportunities for protected land that will go back into the greenbelt. The net gain is thousands of acres.
