Housing Minister sidesteps question on campaign promise to cut development fees

October 14, 2025

The office of federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson says the Liberal government remains committed to cutting municipal development charges in half, after the minister was vague about fulfilling the promise at a news conference in Toronto on Tuesday.

Robertson was asked if the government was still going to cut the fees to lower the cost of homebuilding, but did not fully answer the question.
