Clean Energy Canada strongly advises the government reconsiders its proposed changes to the Planning Act, Municipal Act, 2001, Building Code Act, 1992, and City of Toronto Act, 2006 that would have the effect of prohibiting mandatory municipal enhanced development standards and green building standards.
In the event that the provincial government still decides to move forward with these changes, we strongly advise the government adopt province-wide regulations that would achieve similar results in energy efficiency, EV-readiness, and reduced embodied carbon in new construction, thereby lowering energy bills for Ontarians living in newly built homes.
