In Ontario, up to 25% of the cost of a new home is composed of fees, taxes and charges imposed by the
government. Over half of these fees, taxes and charges are imposed by municipal governments.
Municipal levies on new homes have increased by 300%-1000% since 2004. These charges and fees
ultimately end up in the cost of the new home and are placed on the backs of new home buyers.

We support Bill 23. Additional comments are attached.
