Nice meeting once again with OREA (Ontario Real Estate Association), including CEO Tim Hudak and President Rick Kedzior this afternoon to discuss housing and potential solutions to the affordability crisis.

Earlier this week, OREA's CEO Tim Hudak joined CP24 to discuss how the Bank of Canada’s decision to hold interest rates at 5% will impact Ontarians trying to get into the housing market.

Thank you to MPP Tom Rakocevic for taking the time to meet with OREA CEO @TimHudak & President Rick J Kedzior to discuss solutions to make housing more affordable for residents in Humber River-Black Creek and across Ontario!

OREA has been a strong advocate for allowing 30-year amortization of mortgages for first time homebuyers. This will help more families realize the dream of homeownership.

We commend Minister Chrystia Freeland for taking action to tackle housing affordability.
