	Ontario builders told to build more cheap housing by Tory Housing Minister (2000)
		Ontario developers should stop looking for excuses and start building affordable housing, Housing Minister Tony Clement says.
		Clement's is the harshest criticism of the development industry by a Tory cabinet minister since the Mike Harris government was first elected in 1995.
		Officials at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), a federal agency that helps Canadians gain access to housing, says Ontario's Tenant Protection Act is driving up the cost of rent and contributing to the severe shortage of rental accommodation in Toronto and elsewhere.

	Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Hansard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		While all looks sufficiently rosy indeed for the minister to be away together with her colleague to make the announcement, buried within the announcement is an indication that the government is a speculator and a developer just like everybody else.
		The minister indicates that she is concerned about health care and as well that there has been an expansion of the number of beds over the last while -- I believe she used the number of 400.
		In terms of the comments the member made with respect to why CPP borrowing for housing purposes is not a part of the provincial deficit or the provincial debt, he gave the answer himself and I am satisfied with it.

	Eye Weekly - PARK: Can Ontario afford non-profit housing? - 04.02.92
		Last year, former housing minister Dave Cooke told the Legislature that the subsidy for a typical non-profit housing unit in the Greater Toronto Area was $950 per month, although some units are costing more than $1,500 per month.
		And instead of building more non-profit housing, the government might be better off to give families on the waiting list $210,000 to buy their own house in Metro rather than subsidizing a non-profit unit for 35 years at a cost of $399,000.
		Ontario can no longer afford this kind of so-called "affordable" housing, especially since the recent federal budget said that Ottawa is immediately decreasing spending on non-profit housing by 60 per cent and intends to get out of non-profit housing altogether within five years.

		Ontario's two housing ministers (David Caplan and John Gerretsen) have submitted their budget "asks.” The Premier and Finance Minister are making key decisions right now.
		A handful of other housing announcements have been made (a housing allowance pilot project, new dollars allocated for supportive housing, a provincial rent bank), but it is difficult to assess the exact number of new homes and rent supplements.
		The federal-Ontario affordable housing program is fatally stalled because the Ontario government has failed to provide matching funds ($358 million in the first and second phases of the program, and $540 million in new dollars promised in the last federal election).

	Federal Scene
		Minister Marleau has vowed not to enter into the new Social Housing Agreement with any province that is unable to convince her that it will respect the national principles the Agreement sets out.
		Two proven principles that account for the success of co-operative housing in Canada appear nowhere in the agreement: that it be community-led, not government-run, and that it house a mix of low and moderate income families and individuals.
		The co-op housing sector is caught in a true Catch 22 situation: the provinces say the federal government won't exclude co-ops from the deal; and the federal government says go talk to the provinces.

		Minister, I know you've been working very hard to improve the business and tax climate for the construction of affordable housing in Ontario.
		Ontario's spending on affordable housing is offset by revenues from municipalities and the federal government.
