We are in agreement with the much needed changes under Bill 97. I have an adult son with a disability that he requires a home that is suitable and to be modified with his disability to assist him with his independence for his activities of daily living (ADL's). We are for this change.

I agree with the new proposed changes. We need more home development especially on private owned acreage property in rural areas to assist in improving the quality and standards of living and our communities.

We need the ability to sever farmland. From a community perspective, severing a lot of land will allow for more efficient use of space and resources, which can lead to the creation of new homes which will help to address Ontario's housing crisis. Read more

I've lived in both the big city and rural communities in Ontario. This proposed legislation scares me a lot. Our land, communities and resources are being used to fund Ford's friends. So many things have become unaffordable for ordinary Canadians. Read more

I support amending laws to allow tiny homes/houses and to require municipalities to revoke the - at least local to me - enormous permit fees. Certified THOWs are structurally stronger, more environmentally friendly and moveable in case of fire, impending flood, etc. Read more
