Whether it is investing in important housing, transit and infrastructure projects — we know that in order to build a world-class city, we need to move forward on all these fronts.

It’s why we are moving forward with our HousingTO Action Plan with a goal of building 40,000 affordable housing units, including 18,000 supportive homes, 1,000 of which will be modular homes. It’s why we are moving forward with investments in our TTC, including Automated Transit Control and Rapid Bus Transit which will make the system more efficient so that people can get where they need to go quickly and reliably.

We know that the homes that we decide to settle in are more than just where we choose to reside; they are where we build our lives, raise our families and create cherished memories.

Lately, our homes have also served as makeshift office spaces, learning environments for those in school, and a place to social distance. With so much importance on a safe and reliable surrounding, no Canadian should be without somewhere to call home.

Our government knows a strong housing market with the right mix of housing is vital to supporting the GTA’s growth and economic recovery — which is why we are committed to increasing housing supply in the region.

I want to thank the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board and your members for all you do, and for your ongoing advice and partnership. We will continue to work with you to help Ontarian's find homes that meet their needs and budgets and get our economy back on track.

By 2046, about 9.5 million people are expected to call the Greater Toronto Area home. We recognize the need for better infrastructure to support this impending population growth.

That is why we are making a historic commitment to invest almost $143 billion into the province’s infrastructure over ten years. We also understand that we need to be bold and smart in how we build new complete communities and employment centres to support the region for the generations to come.
