Who administers the Planning Act?

  1. Ministry of Community and Social Services

  2. Ministry of Government Services

  3. Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing

  4. Ministry of Transportation

  5. Ministry of Finance

  6. Ministry of the Environment

The correct answer is: Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing

The correct answer is the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. This ministry is responsible for administering the Planning Act in Ontario. The Planning Act sets out the ground rules for land use planning in the province, including land use controls such as zoning by-laws, official plans, and subdivision control. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing plays a key role in ensuring that these land use planning regulations are followed and enforced in Ontario. The other options are incorrect because they do not have jurisdiction over administering the Planning Act in Ontario. For example, A. Ministry of Community and Social Services - This ministry focuses on social services and income support programs, not land use planning. B. Ministry of Government Services - This ministry is responsible for managing government operations and services, not land use planning. D. Ministry of Transportation - This ministry is responsible for transportation planning and infrastructure, not land use planning. E. Ministry of Finance - This ministry is responsible for managing the province's finances and fiscal policies, not land use planning. F. Ministry of the Environment - This ministry is responsible for environmental protection and policies, not land use planning.
