A new partnership between the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario aims to build more affordable homes, infrastructure, and transit. The partnership was announced on March 30, 2026.

As part of the partnership, the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario will cost-match $8.8 billion over 10 years. This funding will be focused on housing-enabling infrastructure projects and will support the reduction of municipal development charges by up to 50 percent. These reductions will be in place for three years and target municipalities covering 80 percent of the province’s population.
