Statement by Courtney Matic

Hello Province- I expect you to keep your promise to fund LRT in Hamilton!

It supports the Provincial Places To Grow legislation, which directs new growth to happen within the urban boundary.
It supports the Greenbelt, which protects rural and forest land from development.
It helps build Hamilton's tax base, reducing the need for the Province to send annual transfers to Hamilton to meet its budget.
It alleviates pressure to close urban schools and build new suburban schools, saving the Province money.
It reduces air pollution and encourages more active transportation, which helps the Provincial health care budget.
It alleviates pressure to increase capacity on area highways.
Finally, it fulfils the promise that the Province first made to Hamilton back in 2007.
