I’d like to read this petition.

“To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

“Whereas everyone in Ontario deserves to find housing that is right for them, and our government is taking action to increase housing supply and make sure that everyone in Ontario can find a home that meets their needs and their budget; and

“Whereas throughout our consultation with the public, municipalities and the Housing Affordability Task Force, the message is clear: Red tape and bureaucratic inefficiencies are holding back Ontarians from buying homes and driving up the cost of homes; and

“Whereas our government has committed to implementing the task force report with the housing supply action plan every year over four years, starting in 2022-23; and

“Whereas delivering bold changes that can last requires a strong partnership between all levels of government to ensure the policies the province introduces will actually be implemented on the ground; and

“Whereas since our government introduced the More Homes, More Choice Act in 2019, we have seen significant progress:

“—the year 2020 saw the highest level of housing starts in the decade with the highest level of rental starts since 1992;

“—the year 2021 broke even more records with the highest level of housing since 1987 and the highest level of rental starts in 30 years; and

“Whereas our plan is working, but we are just getting started—under the leadership of Premier Ford, we will continue to get it done for the people of Ontario by building 1.5 million homes over the next 10 years;”—

“Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:

“To urge all members of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to support the PC government’s housing supply action plan and efforts to build 1.5 million homes across Ontario.”

I fully support this petition, Mr. Speaker, and I’ll give it to page Apollo.
