Federal and Ontario governments struck a deal to spend billions helping municipalities afford infrastructure needed for new homes. Housing Minister Sean Fraser and Ontario's Steve Clark announced the agreement, which covers water, wastewater, transit and other services. It tackles Canada's housing crisis by making it cheaper for cities to expand services for more housing. This matters because municipalities often delay projects due to high costs, slowing homebuilding.
