Statement from OREA President David Reid & CEO Tim Hudak on new Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford

TORONTO, ON, March 11, 2018 "On behalf of the Ontario Real Estate Association, we would like to offer our congratulations to Doug Ford, the new leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, on his victory yesterday

As we head into the 2018 Ontario Election, young families are looking to all three political parties to put solutions on the table that will make housing more affordable.

Doug has a proven track record of fighting for lower taxes on home ownership. In particular, he has taken a strong stand against Toronto’s dream killing second land transfer tax that adds tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of a home.

Ontario Realtors look forward to working with Doug and all three political parties towards keeping the dream of home ownership alive for the thousands of young families struggling to afford it.”
