Provincial Election 2022

Question 1: Given that Halton already has 22 quarry operations,  and the aggregate industry has negative impacts on people, air, water, wetlands, woodlands and wildlife, will you champion a moratorium, a temporary pause, on all new gravel mining approvals, if you are elected?

Question 2: If elected, will you commit to opposing the unnecessary, costly proposed highway 413, and champion smart planning for healthy, equitable, low carbon communities instead of urban sprawl?

Question 3: If elected will you commit to improving the Extended Producer Responsibility system by adding the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional sector, setting and enforcing higher recycling targets for plastic packaging and establishing a deposit on beverage containers? Will you also reject efforts to burn ‘plastic -to-fuel” and commit to banning organics from landfills?

Question 4: How would you ensure that Ontario has enough clean electricity to support all sectors of the economy and achieve Net-Zero by 2050 without reverting to running gas plants non-stop by 2030 to meet electricity demands, as projected by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO)? Additionally, how will your party support municipalities to electrify their transit fleet?
