Context
The Ontario Government has introduced legislation that, if passed, would support Ontario’s newest Housing Supply Action Plan, More Homes Built Faster. This plan is part of a long-term strategy to increase housing supply and provide increased housing options.
In addition to the new legislation, the government is seeking feedback on several housing regulatory changes, including:
- Proposed Planning Act and City of Toronto Act Changes (due November 24, 2022)
- Municipal Rental Replacement By-Laws (due November 24, 2022)
- Ontario Land Tribunal Act, 2021 (due November 25, 2022)
- O. Reg 232/18: Inclusionary Zoning (due December 9, 2022)
- Proposed Building Code Changes to Support More Homes Built Faster (due December 9, 2022)
- Rent-to-Own Arrangements (due December 9, 2022)
- A Place to Grow and Provincial Policy Statement (due December 30, 2022)
OHRC submissions
Submissions/comments are required in two timeframes. The first round is due November 24 and 25. The second is due December 9 and 30. The OHRC has determined that it will provide comment on the following, given potential impact on Code protected groups:
For the first round (see draft submission below):
- Municipal Rental Replacement By-Laws (due November 24, 2022)
For the second round (draft submissions forthcoming):
- O. Reg 232/18: Inclusionary Zoning (due December 9, 2022)
- Rent-to-Own Arrangements (due December 9, 2022)
- A Place to Grow and Provincial Policy Statement (due December 30, 2022)
The other proposed regulatory changes do not appear to have Human Rights Code-related implications.
