Ma question s’adresse à la ministre des Affaires francophones.

La promotion de la francophonie ontarienne au-delà de nos frontières est essentielle pour créer et renforcer les liens d’affaires avec les autres régions francophones. Notre province est membre de l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie depuis 2016, et tout récemment, la ministre est revenue du 18e Sommet de la Francophonie, qui s’est tenu en Tunisie.

Monsieur le Président, la ministre peut-elle expliquer comment l’adhésion de l’Ontario à l’OIF profite considérablement au rayonnement international et au développement économique de l’Ontario?

Les Franco-Ontariens ont une riche histoire dans notre province, et notre gouvernement a fait de nombreux investissements pour stimuler l’économie francophone et le système d’éducation. C’est pourquoi je suis ravie d’entendre parler d’initiatives qui aident à promouvoir la francophonie ontarienne à l’échelle mondiale.

Monsieur le Président, la ministre peut-elle nous en dire plus sur la participation de l’Ontario au Forum économique de la Francophonie qui a suivi le 18e sommet?

This petition is entitled Building More Homes:

“Whereas the Ontario government introduced the More Homes Built Faster Act, which takes bold action to advance the province’s plan to address the housing crisis by building 1.5 million homes over the next 10 years and the proposals in the More Homes Built Faster Act would, if passed, ensure that cities, towns and rural communities grow with a mix of ownership and rental housing types that meet the needs of Ontarians from single family homes to townhomes and mid-rise apartments; and

“Whereas the plan puts in place actions to support the development of gentle density housing like triplexes or garden suites that bridge the gap between single-family homes and high-rise apartments; for example, it would remove exclusionary zoning, which allows for only one single detached home per lot, and instead it would allow property owners to build three units without lengthy approvals and development charges; and

“Whereas the plan, which contains around 50 actions, addresses the housing crisis by reducing government fees and fixing developmental approval delays that slow down housing construction and increase costs;

“We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to pass the More Homes Built Faster Act in order to increase housing supply in Ontario.”

I will proudly affix my signature and give it to page Yusuf.
