I know approximately 44% of Ontario One Call’s 847 members are municipal partners. It means a significant number of the locate requests are there to ensure the safety and security of the communities that are being served.

My question to the member from Spadina–Fort York is this: Is the construction of more homes to bring down the cost of housing and unlock access to the Canadian dream for millions of newcomers in the coming years a value which this bill would provide, or is it better to retain the existing processes, red tape and bureaucratic fees that Ontario One Call is trying to alleviate but that always seems to be brought back into part of the conversation?
