Ottawa's new mayor made his first trip to Queen's Park since his election, but did not meet with Premier Doug Ford.
Last week, Mark Sutcliffe said he would be meeting with Ford and other cabinet ministers in Toronto on a visit this week."Unfortunately, we had to unexpectedly cancel yesterday’s meeting with Mayor Sutcliffe, but look forward to sitting down with the mayor in the near future," a Ford spokesperson said in an email. "A number of senior cabinet ministers still met with Mayor Sutcliffe yesterday.
In a statement, Sutcliffe's office said he discussed Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, which is the province's planned sweeping legislation aimed at speeding up housing construction. “I am pleased with the open and productive nature of the conversations I had today with senior members of the Ford Government,” Sutcliffe said in the statement.
