TPA is Working

Reprinted from GTAA Building Blocks At the Greater Toronto Apartment Association Winter Social on February 13, 2003, the Hon. Tina Molinari, Associate Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing stated that the Ernie Eves Government recognizes that the Tenant Protection Act is working. 

"Our government aimed to strike a balance in protecting sitting tenants and allowing the marketplace to work," she said. "Millions in capital repairs have been invested by the industry, vacancy rates are up and new rental housing is being built. This is exactly what the Act was meant to do." 

Over 160 members of the Association had the opportunity to hear the Minister give an upbeat message and reminded those in attendance what the alternative is. 

"The opposition parties have indicated they will move backwards in terms of rental housing policy. Our government supports the principles of the TPA and will continue to listen and work with you," Ms. Molinari concluded.
