I am concerned about the elimination or reduction of development charges for commercial developers. The loss of DC funding will have a severe impact on municipalities’ ability to pay for critical infrastructure and will shift the burden from developers to taxpayers.

I am against this bill ( bill 25 ) especially the part that takes away the small landlord’s right to raise rent on new leases .Rent increases should be governed by the market not the government.

I do not support many changes to the Development Act. Growth must pay for growth.
How will the government ensure that any cost savings to developers will actually reduce home costs, or if the developer will take an increased profit.
