Ontario Premier Doug Ford took aim at Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie Wednesday over criticism she levelled at the government’s controversial housing bill.
“I know we have a few mayors that don’t want to play in the sandbox and one being Mayor Crombie, and I don’t know what her issue is,” Ford said towards the end of a news conference in Brampton, where he was making a transit announcement Wednesday.
The Ford government has characterized a lack of housing supply in the province as stemming from municipal “red tape” and fees and is moving to specify housing quotas which municipalities must meet as part of its “More Homes Built Faster Act.” She said “building condominiums is not appropriate for families or for newcomers” and said the government’s bill doesn’t define what sort of housing types are appropriate.
Ford argued Wednesday that with 300,000 newcomers expected in the province each year, the targets are necessary.
