| DiFalco, Teresa | Yes | I am concerned with giving up green-spaces and agricultural resources. The plan could see millions of acres of prime farmland paved. I believe we need to be very thoughtful and think about this long term and from many perspectives. It is not only about moving products and people, it is also about preserving our agricultural lands. I would want to see a plan that strikes the right balance in finding environmentally responsible solutions. |
| Pearson, Maria | No | No, I support the mid-peninsula highway to divert traffic away from the very narrow stretch of the QEW that runs through Stoney Creek. The Province currently is proposing the addition of an HOV lane in each direction on an already very congested stretch of highway.
