Should Hamilton be trying to attract more young people to live, work and start businesses here, including the 60,000 students studying at Mohawk College, McMaster University and Redeemer University? If so, what should we be doing? If not, why not?

| Marley, Kevin | Yes | Absolutely, this city offers amazing opportunities for businesses however it is up to the local government to facilitate this. We need to be more transparent in how people can start and grow their business and this includes other areas of bureaucracy such as zoning by-laws and transportation access to different areas throughout Hamilton. |
| Scime, John | Yes | We need attract well balanced industries into the city without stigmas. When these opportunities are available, we lessen the probability for people to move and work/live elsewhere. As a resident of Hamilton my whole life, and a brief move to Ottawa and back, there is a stark difference in the culture of both cities. We need to encourage the development of our people and provide the culture and amenities to never leave. We do this by providing affordable housing, vast areas of cultural venues, and move our people safely around the corners of our city. Ultimately the decisions we make as a municipality should be in the best interest of retaining our residents. |
