Municipalities from Trent Lakes in central eastern Ontario, Wawa in the north and Guelph in the southwest have asked the province, or are planning to ask the province, to make the change and include language on Indigenous rights.

Ontario's legislature is in need of repairs that will cost the province at least $1 billion. Work on that is in its early stages but is already delayed, according to the minister in charge of the redevelopment.Work on renovating Ontario's legislature is in early stages but is already delayed, according to the province's legislative affairs minister.

The director of the precinct properties branch told the committee Tuesday that a historic structures report, which includes both the building and the grounds of the legislature, should be complete in a year and a half. "It was a touch delayed," Calandra said of the historic structures report. "I'm hoping we can keep it on track, but the reality is, I don't think we'll hit the 2026."Calandra said he is still moving forward to secure a location for a temporary legislature while the renovations are underway, but he has kept the possible spots a closely guarded secret.

Minister of Legislative Affairs Paul Calandra said Tuesday his preferred timeline of having the next parliament after the 2026 election meet at a temporary location while the legislature is under renovation likely won't happen.
