I'm not voting for a Conservative ideologue who has pledged to completely eliminate it. I think evaluating the targeting of land re-zoning and development for best impact is a reasonable approach.

Acceptance of the City's application was contingent on them having done so.

Canada's Housing Minister is warning that municipalities won't succeed with applications for federal housing accelerator funding unless they are flexible on zoning rules.
Speaking Wednesday at an Empire Club of Canada luncheon in Toronto, Sean Fraser said a willingness to adopt zoning reforms has been key for the communities that have signed deals with Ottawa.
Fraser said the federal government has seen "a change in approach overnight" on the part of cities that were initially resistant to such changes, as competition for the money has prompted some jurisdictions to become more open to reform.
"If you want to tap into the fund, be more ambitious than your neighbours," Fraser said.
"There are cities who won't receive funding because they don't want to end exclusionary zoning in Canada. I know who some of them are and maybe they'll change their ways."
