Comment
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input with respect to the proposed Provincial Planning Statement (draft PPS). Halton Region welcomes the opportunity to participate in the Government of Ontario’s request for comment on this initiative.
Regional Council approved Staff Report “LPS43-23 - Halton Region’s response to Bill 97: Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 and the Draft New Provincial Planning Statement (2023)” (attached). The Report represents Halton’s comments on the draft PPS.
Broadly speaking, it is Halton’s view that if passed as it currently stands, the draft PPS 2023 would make it more difficult to fulfill important community objectives like supporting housing supply coordinated with infrastructure, protecting the environment, protecting agriculture, addressing climate change and protecting employment lands. More detail is provided in the comments included in the Staff Report.
We would be pleased to set up a meeting to discuss any aspect of our submission at your convenience.
