Ottawa Real Estate Board Congratulates Our New Local MPPs on their Election Victories
February 28, 2025
The Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) congratulates George Darouze (Carleton), Karen McCrimmon (Kanata-Carleton), Tyler Watt (Nepean), Stephen Blais (Orléans), Catherine McKenney (Ottawa Centre), John Fraser (Ottawa South), Lucille Collard (Ottawa-Vanier) and Chandra Pasma (Ottawa West-Nepean) on their election victories.
OREB also congratulates Premier Doug Ford and the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party on securing a third consecutive majority government. Premier Ford’s re-election reflects Ontarians’ strong desire for stable leadership on the economy and housing affordability.
Since taking office, Ford’s government has worked to address Ontario’s housing challenges by reducing bureaucratic barriers, streamlining development approvals, and investing in infrastructure. These measures are critical to ensuring that more families, first-time buyers, and newcomers can find homes in Ottawa and across the province.
Ottawa REALTORS® are eager to work with all MPPs to advance policies that support homeownership, improve housing affordability and ensure Ontario remains a competitive and attractive place to live and invest. Addressing housing supply and affordability must remain a top priority as the province continues to grow.
Part of the plan to protect Ontario from the impact of U.S. tariffs must include stronger efforts to lower taxes on housing and speed up the construction of homes that families can afford. Ontario must also ramp up efforts to reform the Landlord and Tenant Board and clear the backlog of cases affecting the rental housing market.
OREB and its Members look forward to working with all elected representatives to deliver real solutions for Ottawa families striving to buy, sell or rent a home in the nation’s capital.
