flag Ontario passed housing reforms to speed construction and reduce delays, but didn't confirm 1.5 million home target.

flag Ontario introduced new housing legislation to accelerate construction by streamlining approvals, reducing regulatory delays, and cutting costs, including limiting green roof requirements in Toronto and expediting transit-oriented development. flag While the government emphasized the need for faster construction, it stopped short of confirming commitment to its previous goal of building 1.5 million homes in a decade. flag Housing starts in 2024 fell well below targets, with early 2025 data showing the lowest levels since 2009. flag The bill also aims to reduce delays at the Landlord and Tenant Board, shorten eviction notice periods, and require one year of Canadian driving experience for commercial truck drivers on northern highways.
