Members’ Statements — Lois James
My riding of Lanark–Frontenac–Kingston is rich with family-run farms that have shaped its landscapes, supported local economies and created strong, rural connections. One amazing woman who not only made farming an indust…

Orders of the Day — Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 pour la construction de logements et l’amélioration de l’infrastructure de transport
I’ve got a high senior population in my riding, and there’s a high demand for those retirement homes for those downsizing. But for retirement homes, the removal of the development charge is quite simply a reduction in th…

I’m going to go back to the communal water and sewage system, which is the exact opposite to what you’re suggesting. I gave the example of Verona, where a development would only be able to handle 14 homes with the tradit…

I think the key word with the site plan reform is “standardization and familiarity.” It will also allow transfer of staff, sharing of expertise among municipalities. Again, I have 12 municipalities. They’re a small staf…

Thanks very much—great question. You alluded to it a little bit. Certainly, for procurement of inputs for that aggregate for road building, it’s important to have one standard. The contractor knows what they’re dealing…

Orders of the Day — Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 pour la construction de logements et l’amélioration de l’infrastructure de transport
I can’t stress how important communal water and sewage is to rural Ontario. This bill is the first stage in developing a framework for that to happen. It doesn’t matter in Niagara Centre; it doesn’t matter in Toronto–Dan…

I’m pleased to rise today in support of this bill, the Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act. Speaker, when we talk about housing in this chamber, the conversation seems to always drift toward t…

Orders of the Day — Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 pour la construction de logements et l’amélioration de l’infrastructure de transport
There’s a lot of things addressed in this bill relative to transparency. One is, as I mentioned, the young purchasers of their home, to know what the bottom line on that cost is. And that’s the development charges; they…

No, I’m quite excited, actually. It’s a great system. What I would be more worried about would be a number of septic systems and wells in the same vicinity. Nobody is checking those on a daily basis, as opposed to these…
