Friends - Bill 17 is erasing years of work by city leaders to ensure energy efficiency is taken into account when building new homes. In Ontario, it has been a decade since city councils started approving green construction standards that require builders to attend to this aspect of home-building, using best evidence, economically viable approaches, and a democratic process.
