This amendment to the growth plan changes the methodology of population and employment forecasts in order to accommodate growth in residential subdivisions, roads and other developments at the expense of our natural environment.

Unrestrained growth will adversely impact Ontario residents. Continual growth cannot support an economy forever and, in the meantime, the quality of Ontario’s air, soil, water and natural heritage will degrade as will our quality of life.
