“We started building 46 affordable homes in Whitby with Habitat for Humanity. Our government is helping build more homes by cutting taxes and rules, and by working with the town.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, for 46 families in Whitby, the hope of owning an affordable home is becoming a reality. That dream is being realized thanks to the work of Habitat for Humanity GTA. I was honoured to be there to break ground on Hickory Street in downtown Whitby for a project that will provide families a safe and stable place to grow and put down roots in the community they love. This milestone proves what is possible when governments, community leaders, local partners, volunteers and future homeowners all pull in the same direction. Through the housing accelerator fund, as well as the new HST relief on new home purchases across Ontario, our new government is helping Whitby unlock land, cut red tape and build more homes for families in need. We believe everyone deserves more than a roof over their head. They deserve a place to truly call home, and that is exactly what we are delivering with this project.
