I would like to thank Kevin Lomack for signing the petition Housing for All.
“To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
“Whereas all Ontarians have the right to adequate housing;
“Whereas to ensure an adequate supply of housing, Ontario must build 1.5 million new market and non-market homes over the next decade; and
“Whereas the for-profit private market by itself will not, and cannot, deliver enough homes that are affordable and meet the needs of Ontarians for all incomes, ages, family sizes, abilities and cultures;
“Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to implement a comprehensive housing plan that ensures the right of all Ontarians to adequate housing, including:
“—ending exclusionary zoning and enabling access to affordable and adequate housing options in all neighbourhoods;
“—stabilizing housing markets and stopping harmful speculation; establishing a strong public role in the funding, delivery, acquisition and protection of an adequate supply of affordable and non-market homes;
“—protecting tenants from rent gouging and displacement, and ensuring the inclusivity of growing neighbourhoods; and
“—focusing growth efficiently and sustainably within existing urban boundaries, while protecting irreplaceable farmland, wetlands, the greenbelt and other natural heritage from costly and unsustainable urban sprawl.”
I fully support this petition, sign it and give it to page Isabella to give to the table.
