Ford and Carney have signed the Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build agreement aimed at building homes faster and more economically. Provincial and federal funds will enable municipalities to cut development charges by 50 per cent for three years, a historic step for our industry.

Ontario’s 2026 Budget will include the removal of the full 13 per cent HST on new homes for ALL buyers, not just first-timers. All new home buyers at every level need help with affordability, so this will enhance consumer confidence in the province (bit.ly/47jmaGa).
