I vehemently oppose this bill, which will only make money for big developers while encouraging further rise in food costs and urban sprawl. Pls do the right thing and don't pass this travesty of a bill. Thank you.

Peterborough County's municipal plan has been submitted to you and falls under this provincial plan. I hope you will return that plan to be redone as there are major flaws in it. 25 years is a long time to live with a huge mistake and no way to change it. Read more

This is the worst idea yet. There will be nothing but problems. We don’t want it. No jobs out here so the majority will be commuting through hagersville that is all ready a zoo on a good day. Terrible idea. The infrastructure is not here for it.
