No sign of housing deal after Housing Minister meets with Toronto mayor

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow met with federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson on Thursday, but there was no sign of an end to their spat over her council’s failure to meet Ottawa’s demand to allow sixplexes across her city – a requirement for millions in housing funding.

Mr. Robertson, who left after the hour-long meeting at city hall without addressing reporters, has previously called the city’s decision to only allow sixplexes in certain wards “disappointing.”
