Dear 50by30WR community: What is Bill 23? On October 25, 2022, Bill 23 (the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022) was introduced in the provincial legislature. It is part of the government's Housing Supply Action Plan released in March 2022 with the goal to build 1.5 million homes over the next 10 years. Bill 23 is an omnibus bill which overhauls development statutes, including the Planning Act, Development Charges Act, Ontario Heritage Act, and Conservation Authorities Act. What is the rush? Planning lawyers and specialists across the province are digging into this complex legislation to understand its meaning and impacts. But the government intends to push the bill through at a lightening pace. Introduced the day after municipal elections and before new councils are sworn in and oriented to their roles, the government will vote after second reading today and third reading may be complete before the end of this week. This speed means we, citizens, need to power through to understand the information that the lawyers and subject experts are sharing now. |
