I cannot begin to understand the rationale for the government's proposal to eliminate the Growth Plan, which has controlled sprawl and protected farmland since 2005. You are removing regional planning for most purposes and places. You have removed the definition of “affordable” from the Provincial Policy Statement (which is not a great way to show you’re taking care of Ontario’s affordable housing problem). You now propose to allow almost any kind of building anywhere - on farms, in employment lands.

In Halton, we came up with a Regional Plan, approved by the citizens of Halton, which met your requirements, but stayed within our urban boundaries and controlled sprawl.
I thought Bill- 23 was bad but now I'm absolutely stunned.
Please reconsider this disastrous policy.
