Description

Guests: Brian Rosborough and Colin Best, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) The Ontario government’s new housing bill has many municipal politicians upset about the removal of development charges, as they are typically used to build the necessary infrastructure in communities. There have been huge estimates for that funding shortfall, and while the province told some municipalities they are willing to work through an audit process, many fear the possibility of large property tax hikes to make up the difference. Brian Rosborough, executive director of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and Colin Best, AMO president and Halton regional councillor, explain some of the cost and effect of the new housing bill and how municipalities are calculating these numbers. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar. Audio source: CityNews and CTV
