The proposed plan is a waste…

The proposed plan is a waste of taxpayer money and resources. The plan destroys critical farmland which provides a significant amount of the food Ontario residents consume pushing up the cost of food by creating the need to import more food.

The plan fails to account for the significant public investment in infrastructure and transit necesarry to support development in these areas. Additional housing needs to be built in existing cities and towns where the infrastructure to support these new homes exists or can be upgraded to support new homes.

The plan does not require development be conducted where flood plains are known to exist.

The plan is tainted by the apparent breach of public trust where developers were provided advanced information of the plan. The plan does not profit the public. It does profit PC Party of Ontario insiders and donors which is not in the general public intereset.

This plan, when added to the wasteful destruction of wetlands from the 413 project, will signficantly impact Ontario tourism through the loss of wildlife habitat.
