Stiles’ NDP to keep fighting for affordable housing after Ford’s Conservatives say NO

QUEEN’S PARK – Marit Stiles, Leader of the Official Opposition NDP, released the following statement after Ford’s Conservatives voted down an NDP plan to build 250,000 affordable and non-market homes over the next ten years:

“With a housing crisis of this scale, we have to find big solutions that can help people find a home they love in the community they want to live in,” said Stiles. “When Ford voted no today, he just proved again that he’s not interested in showing the leadership we need to get us out of this mess.

I am leading the Ontario NDP to get the province back in the business of building housing – and we’re not going to stop here.

While Ford is under criminal investigation for his housing policies, your Ontario NDP will keep bringing exciting new solutions to the table, to make sure everyone has an affordable place to call home.

We’re just getting started.”
