Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Every Sunday, Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the week that was at Queen's Park — and the week ahead.
Joining us today is reporter Aidan Chamandy, who delivered a major scoop this week about the Ford government's new housing bill.
The night before the legislation was tabled, Chamandy got his hands on some documents outlining all the major elements of the bill — including creating exemptions for publicly funded universities under the Planning Act, and backtracking on a controversial law that froze the development charges cities can levy on new construction.
How many homes will this new legislation actually help build? The government can't say for sure. But Chamandy does have a prediction on how many goals Auston Matthews will ultimately score this season. Don't miss it.
