Description

The residential construction industry in Ontario is facing its worst period in decades due to stifling taxation, rising material costs, tariffs, and restrictive government policies. Housing starts and sales have declined dramatically, with significant job losses and economic impact. The federal government has introduced tax rebates for first-time home buyers, and there are calls for Ontario to align with these measures and reduce development charges and regulatory delays to support new housing construction.
