The Province's proposed rules would

•Restrict municipalities from requiring more than 5% of new units to be affordable (or 10% if they are in a Major Transit Station Area); •Prevent municipalities from requiring developers to build affordable units if the new development is a rental building; •Require the municipality to contribute 40% of the cost of making the units affordable.

These rules would mean that, despite municipalities being given new powers, virtually no affordable housing would be built.

We are therefore deeply disappointed with the proposed Regulation, and trust that the Province will re-think its approach to this important issue.
