Orders of the Day — Municipal Accountability Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 sur la responsabilité au niveau municipal
Thank you for the question. It’s a really good question. Actually, the parts of this bill that are adequate are the ones around integrity commissioners and developing a standardization. We’ve all heard and we all agreed…

Thank you to the member for the question. Yes, it’s a great point, because in the current bill, it not only requires unanimous vote of council to remove a councillor, but all of them have to actually be there. If one pe…

I’m pleased to stand and start our lead on Bill 98, Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act. I’ll be sharing my time with the member from Humber River–Black Creek and the member from Toronto–Danfor…

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’m not sure I heard the last part of the question, but what I tried to make clear in my speaking—and my friend from Toronto–Danforth did as well—is when you financialize the infrastructure, whoever is investing—and the…
