By Christine Elliott, MPP
Newmarket-Aurora<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my last column, I have\nmet with St. John\u2019s Ambulance of York Region, Community & Home Assistance\nto Seniors (CHATS) and Alzheimer Society of York Region, Abuse Hurts, the\nOntario Association of Children\u2019s Aid Societies, Yellow Brick House, the Lake\nSimcoe Region Conservation Authority and the Co-operative Housing Federation of\nCanada. I was also pleased to participate in a roundtable hosted by LOFT\nCommunity Services to learn more about the great, collaborative work already\ntaking place to support patients, families and caregivers in Newmarket\ntransitioning from one health care provider to another.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear from constituents that\nrent prices right here in Newmarket-Aurora are unaffordable. We need to start\nbuilding more housing and providing the right kind of housing options for the\npeople of Ontario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why our government is\ntaking steps to increase the supply of housing that is affordable. That means\nbuilding more housing, faster, to lower housing costs. We also need to build\nthe right type of housing in the right places to give people more choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are developing a Housing\nSupply Action Plan and launched a public consultation to hear ideas about how\nto build more affordable and good quality housing. The Housing Supply Action\nPlan will include measures that the Province can take to increase the supply of\nnew ownership and rental housing in Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our government is taking steps\nto increase the supply of housing that is affordable. We are going to remove\nbarriers and red tape that is limiting the supply of housing and driving up\ncosts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
