Ontario Greens return to legislature with focus on housing, healthcare, climate justice

October 16, 2024

QUEEN'S PARK — As the legislature returns, Ontario Greens are ready to deliver real change for Ontarians who have been abandoned by the Ford government, with a focus on housing, healthcare and oil and gas greed.

“Life in Ontario is hard, and it’s getting harder,” said Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner. “People can’t afford a place to live, and meanwhile this government has spent the summer getting beer into corner stores and talking about expensive tunnels that will never get built.”

“Housing is the number-one concern for so many Ontarians right now, and the Ford government has let them down.”

“Ontarians deserve a government that’s working for them, not for greedy corporations,” said Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy.

“Greens are in it for you. We’re ready to be your voice at Queen’s Park and deliver on more homes, better healthcare and real climate justice that puts people before profits.”

As MPPs return to Queen’s Park next week, Ontario Greens are prioritizing:

• Bold solutions to bring down housing costs by legalizing more types of homes, protecting renters and getting back into the business of deeply affordable housing;
• Stamping out oil and gas greed to get our province off fossil fuels and invest in cleaner, cheaper renewables; and
• Fighting to save public healthcare, including low-barrier mental health and addictions care to everyone who needs it.
