Ontario’s housing reform conversation is evolving rapidly under Premier Doug Ford’s latest legislative package — Bill 60: Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act. “The Bill aims to make it faster to build new homes and infrastructure, focusing on high-demand areas like the GTA and the eastern corridor to Ottawa, while simplifying the approval process.” Yet within that ambition lie deep implications for tenants, landlords, and the real-estate landscape itself. With consultations ongoing and outcomes still uncertain, understanding what’s truly on the table has never been more important.
