Toronto mayoral hopefuls squared off Wednesday in a debate over their proposed solutions to the city’s housing supply and affordability challenges, with candidates clashing over the government’s role in getting more homes built.
Hosted by the Residential Construction Council of Ontario and several other housing sector organizations, the debate at George Brown College heard from the six frontrunners in the crowded race ahead of the byelection voting day set for June 26.
