Comment
I am concerned that the changes proposed by the government will both *not* improve the housing situation in Ontario *and* undermine local authorities that are already successfully carrying out planned activities in their regions.
To quote the proposal:
"The Plan has been successful in achieving its objective in setting out and implementing the framework for the establishment of a sustainable urban community in Seaton integrated with an agricultural community in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve and a Natural Heritage System."
And the government proposes to:
"Under subsection 4(8) of the Planning and Development Act, 1994, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing may, with the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, by order, revoke the plan. "
So, the province plans to throw away a plan with clear goals that has been successful for more than a decade, with... 'let's build more houses!' This is a bad proposal.
