The proposed policy disincentives developers from building in densely populated urban areas - yet, cities are more efficient for mobility, use less resources and will host more resilient infrastructure to support the growing Canada population and impacts of climate change.
Infrastructure policy and planning organizations have well established the Canadian opportunity to increase global economic competitiveness and decrease social decompression by addressing new opportunities in infrastructure development.

Instead, we see this proposal which simply reallocates development to the periphery - where it is more expensive, environmentally harmful and likely to create social and long-term economic harm.
Additionally, many of the firms poised to reap the benefits of the proposed policy are rumored to have ties to both organized crime and inappropriate access to the members of the proposing government. This is the "appearance of impropriety" writ large.
