Ontario’s housing market is facing unprecedented pressures: tens of thousands of completed homes remain unsold, 40,000 industry jobs are at risk, and ownership rates are declining faster than anywhere else in Canada.
As part of OHBA’s coordinated advocacy, we are advancing a clear position: Both the federal GST and the provincial PST must be removed from ALL new home sales to meaningfully improve affordability, stimulate construction, and protect Ontario’s workforce and economy.
Join OHBA CEO Scott Andison and Chair Christina Giannone for a members-only briefing on OHBA’s coordinated tax-relief efforts
This session will walk through the evidence behind the removal of GST/PST, outline OHBA’s provincial-federal advocacy strategy, and discuss potential next steps to better engage the broader membership in these coordinated efforts.
