| The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area has some of the worst traffic congestion in North America. What, if anything, will you do to alleviate the gridlock? |
Yes |
More transit options may need to be put in place. |
| Do you support term limits for municipal politicians? Why or why not? |
No |
All politicians should be elected but it is up to the people to decide if they want to keep electing them. |
| Will you complete the job of uploading social services costs to the Province? Why or why not? |
Yes |
A Freedom government will fulfill any previous obligations that are in place. |
| Hamilton has a large number of contaminated brownfield properties that present a risk for investors. What, if anything, will you do to make it easier to remediate brownfields? |
Yes |
A solution to that problem will have to be worked out with the co-operation of City of Hamilton. |
| Hamilton has a lot of available office space in the downtown. Will you move any departments to Hamilton to boost the local economy and save on rent costs? Why or why not? |
Maybe |
Because it will be necessary to re-organize government departments, a commitment cannot be made at this time. |
| Do you believe municipalities should have more powers to generate revenue? If so, what would you propose? If not, why not? |
No |
Not through taxes. The people of this province pay more than enough taxes already. |
| Do you support completing the Mid-Peninsula Highway? Why or why not? |
No |
I do not support the Mid-Peninsula Highway. I don't think that current traffic levels are high enough and can't be dealt with in another way that we need to rip apart precious farm land and wildlife habitat to build a multi billion dollar road that will take 8+ years to complete.

| In 2007, the Ontario Government promised two light rail lines in Hamilton. Will you fulfill that promise to build light rail in Hamilton? Why or why not? |
Yes |
A Freedom government will fulfill any previous obligations that are in place.
