Today, Minister @PrabSarkaria, Minister @douglasdowney, Minister @ToddJMcCarthy and I announced the Fighting Delays and Building Faster Act, 2025! 🏗️

This legislation will cut red tape, streamline approvals, and reduce costs for homebuyers — helping to keep the dream of homeownership alive.

In partnership with municipal leaders like @AMOPolicy and industry partners such as @OntarioHBA, @FRPOFACTS and @bildgta, our government is taking bold action to deliver results.

Under the leadership of Premier @fordnation, we will continue to build more homes, faster to ensure Ontario families can find a place to call home 🏡

This Remembrance Day, we honour and remember the brave Canadians who defended our country and the freedoms we enjoy today.
 
Let’s wear a poppy, attend a local ceremony and take a moment to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our veterans and Canadian Armed Forces members.

Today, I was pleased to announce the appointment of eight new Heads of Council for Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel, Waterloo and York regions, Muskoka District and Simcoe County. Congratulations to all!
 
Eight proven leaders with one common goal: to protect Ontario and build stronger, more prosperous communities.
 
These appointments bring experienced leadership to some of Ontario's fastest-growing regions, helping speed up decision-making, advance housing and infrastructure priorities, and create new opportunities for residents and businesses.
 
I look forward to working together to deliver on our shared priorities and ensure our communities remain great places to live, work and raise a family.

Today, I had the pleasure of joining Premier @fordnation, Mayor Jeff Leal, Mayor-Elect Michael Eamon, MP Emma Harrison, Parliamentary Assistant @DaveSmithPtbo, and Minister @DavidPiccini to announce up to $39.9 million for the City of Peterborough, through the Development Charge Reduction Program.
 
This funding is estimated to lower the cost of building new homes by up to $34,302 and will support the development of critical community infrastructure.
 
Thank you, Mayor Leal and team, for your leadership and commitment to getting shovels in the ground.

Through the Development Charge Reduction Program, the City of St. Thomas will receive up to $19.6 million to support housing-enabling infrastructure projects that will help get shovels in the ground and lower the cost of new homes by as much as $5,961.
 
Working with our federal and municipal counterparts, our government is creating the conditions for more people to achieve their dreams of homeownership.
