Ontario quietly signs new affordable housing deal with feds
The provincial and federal governments quietly signed a fresh Ontario affordable housing deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars after months of tense back-and-forth and threats to scrap the funding altogether. Shortly after Doug Ford's new cabinet was sworn in March and with Mark Carney installed in the Prime Minister's Office, Ottawa and Queen's Park signed off on a deal to work together on new housing. Details of the need to sign the new agreement were contained in a handover binder prepared for Ontario's new housing minister in March and recently obtained by Global News using freedom of information laws. The same agreement had caused months of grief the previous year as two housing ministers traded barbs, accusations and threats. Last year, the federal and provincial housing ministers clashed repeatedly over the National Housing Strategy – a bilateral, long-term agreement to build affordable housing. Story continues below advertisement The fund provides money to provinces for their affordable housing strategies. It is designed to run for 10 years, with milestones to renew the funds.

The letter kicked off back-and-forth jabs, where Ottawa rejected Ontario's various affordable housing plans, claiming it was refurbishing old units and not building new ones. The federal government said it would withhold $357 million in fresh funding until it was satisfied. The federal government eventually said it would sidestep Ontario and give the money straight to local service managers in the province instead. At the time, Calandra said that was exactly what he wanted. 'For weeks, we've been saying, 'It is distributed through our service managers,'' he said in May 2024. 'Now, the big, bad federal Minister of Housing is going to punish Ontario. Do you know how? By distributing the money the same way we have done it for the last 35 years: through our service managers.' After the snap winter election, Calandra was shuffled from housing to education, while Fraser is now the justice minister. A briefing binder prepared for incoming Ontario Housing Minister Rob Flack in March 2025 said one of the first decisions he would have to make would be to sign off on a new federal-provincial agreement to ensure affordable housing dollars continue to flow. Story continues below advertisement 'Ministry staff are reviewing federal input and will bring forward options for the Action Plan for Minister's decision following the election,' the briefing binder, accessed via freedom of information laws, said. Sometime in March, the two governments came to an agreement. 'The National Housing Strategy (NHS) bilateral agreement signed with Ontario runs from 2019/20 to 2027/28,' a federal spokesperson said. 'The targets and outcomes for funding available under the agreement were mutually agreed upon in March 2025 through a three-year Action Plan for 2025/26 to 2027/28. This ensures the continued availability of federal funding for Ontario.' Flack's office indicated he wanted to reset the relationship with his federal counterpart after a tense year. The latest agreement will prioritize rent-assisted units, according to the Ontario government.

This is the sixth consecutive time India is coming to G7 as a guest country which speaks for India's importance on the world stage today. In this particular G7, India will be speaking about energy security, innovation, new technologies like AI, Quantum etc, which are contemporary topics that will effect all of us and our views will will definitely get noticed, I am sure.' 'In addition to that, there will be bilaterals on the sidelines. As you know, the G7 countries and also some other rich countries are also here in Calgary and there will be interactions on that front as well. That also includes interaction with meeting with Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada as well,' the Indian envoy said. Prime Minister will travel to Canada's Kananaskis to attend the G7 Summit on June 16-17. This will be PM Modi's sixth consecutive participation in the G7 Summit. Asked about his expectation regarding bilateral ties following the meeting between PM Modi and Carney, Naik said, 'At this point, I'll just say that honourable Prime Minister tweeted the moment Prime Minister Mark Carney was elected. So that was a good signal. And now we are seeing the visit happening at his invitation. I think those hold significance in themselves. We will see how the discussion goes and what comes out of it. I would say the direction looks positive. But as I said, around this visit and around this meeting, you can already see so much of enthusiasm and positivity, which is what should be noted.' He stated that Indian diaspora in Canada is very excited for PM Modi's visit and that the Indian High Commission is receiving feedback from Indo-Canadians ever since PM Modi's visit to Canada was announced. When asked about Indian community's reaction to PM Modi's visit, he said, 'As soon as the visit was announced, we have been getting feedback from all over the Indo-Canadian community across Canada. As you know, there's 1.8 million Indo-Canadian diaspora here and they are excited, they are full of energy and they have been expressing themselves in various forms. I would invite you to see our social media handles and see for yourself.' 'From Cyprus, I will travel to Kananaskis, Canada to attend the G7 Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Mark Carney. The Summit will provide space for exchange of views on pressing global issues and the priorities of the Global South. I also look forward to engaging with leaders from partner countries,' he said. PM Modi arrived in Cyprus on Sunday, marking the beginning of his three-nation official visit to Cyprus, Canada, and Croatia.

In his statement before departing for his three-nation visit, PM Modi had stated, 'From Cyprus, I will travel to Kananaskis, Canada to attend the G7 Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister HE Mark Carney. The Summit will provide space for exchange of views on pressing global issues and the priorities of the Global South. I also look forward to engaging with leaders from partner countries,' he said. The G7 Summit is an international forum held annually for the leaders of the G7 member states of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada and the European Union (EU). PM Modi's visit to Canada comes after a period of strained relations between the two countries, triggered by Canadian allegations that Indian agents were involved in the killing of NIA-designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside gurdwara in Canada in 2023. India strongly rejected the allegations and both nations expelled senior diplomats in a tit-for-tat escalation. India has expressed concern about extremism and anti-India activities in Canada and has asked Canadian authorities to take action against it. (ANI)

Profile: Quebec Liberal Leader Pablo Rodriguez joined party's youth wing at 16
Quebec Politics By Pablo Rodriguez, 57, was a federal Liberal MP from 2004 to 2011 and from 2015 to Sept. 19, 2024, at which point he decided to sit as an independent while he prepared to launch his bid for the Quebec Liberal leadership, which he won Saturday in Quebec City. During his term in office, he represented the Montreal riding of Honoré-Mercier and held several key roles in then-prime minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet, including as transport minister and minister of Canadian heritage. He also served as government whip and house leader as well as Trudeau's Quebec lieutenant. He is the son of immigrants. When he was eight, his family fled the military junta in Argentina to settle in Quebec. His parents spoke only Spanish. Rodriguez learned French while playing hockey with friends in the arenas of Sherbrooke. It was at the Université de Sherbrooke that he obtained a BA in business administration, starting his career in the field of international development for a Montreal-based NGO. He became a member of the Quebec Liberal Party youth wing at age 16, rising to the post of vice-president. He travelled around Quebec as youth spokesperson for the No camp in the 1995 referendum campaign on independence. Rodriguez and his spouse, Roxane, have one child, Béatrice. Rodriguez is fluent in French and English as well as Spanish. Considered the front-runner in the race for the Quebec Liberal leadership because his political experience gave him a higher visibility than the other candidates, Rodriguez has in the past defended reforms to the Official Languages Act, which recognized French is a vulnerable language. He has also denounced American companies that have complained about French language sign rules, saying they need to adapt. Rodriguez has said he would drop the Coalition Avenir Québec's freeze on CEGEP enrolment included in Bill 96 overhauling the Charter of the French Language, as well as dropping the six-month deadline for immigrants to learn French. At the May English all-candidates debate at John-Abbott College, Rodriguez said French is the official language of Quebec, but there is no need to protect it by attacking the English-speaking community. 'We will always protect French, but not by being against the English community. A Quebecer is a Quebecer is a Quebecer.' He has said win or lose the leadership, he would run for the Liberals in 2026. He has not said where he would run, but said he is mulling over either a riding in the Eastern Townships or Montreal. This story was originally published June 14, 2025 at 5:29 PM.
