Local MPP takes on significant housing role in cabinet

Elgin-Middlesex-London MPP Rob Flack will be taking on a new role in the cabinet shuffle with a focus on attainable housing.

Premier Doug Ford announced changes to his cabinet Monday in an effort to “build Ontario” and address the province’s housing crisis.

“As our province’s population and economy grow, it’s never been more important for us to build Ontario,” Ford said in a news releasse. “As we continue to attract billions of dollars in new investments to create better jobs with bigger paycheques, we have the right team in place to get it done. We’ll never stop working on behalf of the people of Ontario to build the homes, highways and public transit our growing communities need.”

Flack has been named the Associate Minister of Housing with a specific mandate on attainable housing and modular homes. He will report to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
