  • Generating Opposition
    ENERGY Generating opposition SARAH DEA/TORONTO STAr Some Oakville residents, like Doug MacKenzie, are showing signs of opposition towards the proposed natural gas plant on the border of Mississauga/Oakville south of the QEW. MacKenzie, president of the Chartwell Maple Grove Residents Association, created the "No Power Plant" lawn signs available through the community association (Sept. 4, 2009). Residents – and politicians – sick of breathing in pollutants keep push on against natural gas plant Sep 05, 2009 04:30 AM Tyler Hamilton ENERGY REPORTER Doug MacKenzie gets fired up when asked about the large natural gas plant being shoehorned into his neighbourhood. The Oakville homeowner says he's already paid his dues, forced like other residents to breathe in pollution from existing industry, including emissions from a nearby Petro-Canada lubricants plant, a Ford Motor paint plant, two wastewater treatment facilities, and a St. Lawrence Cement mill – all within a few kilometres. "This whole area has too much heavy industry already," says MacKenzie, frustrated at the thought that another major polluter could be built less than two kilometres from his front door on Benita Court. His concern, shared by most of his neighbours, hasn't stopped Ontario's power-planning agency from plowing ahead with a plan to locate an 850-megawatt natural gas generating station in southwest GTA. The final site will be one of four locations clustered around the southern border of Mississauga and Oakville. Three are within the community of Clarkson Village. The Ontario Power Authority was to have decided which private developer will build and operate the new plant – almost twice the size of the Portlands Energy Centre near Toronto's Beach and Leslieville neighbourhoods – in late August.

    November 7, 2018 Right Hon. Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada 80 Wellinton Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 Honourable Bill Morneau Minister of Finance Government of Canada 90 Elgin Street Ottawa ON K1A 0G5 Submitted Via Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Morneau: Re: Safeguard Actions (Tariffs and Quotas) for Imported Steel Products Further to recent correspondence with you (Minister Morneau) and meetings with your senior officials, we are writing to express our ongoing concerns about the potential impact of “safeguard measures” on the supply of rebar and other steel products for the British Columbia construction market. Members of our associations are concerned that provisional safeguard measures for rebar and other steel products that are critical for institutional, commercial, industrial and residential construction may result in delayed or deferred projects in the BC marketplace. At stake are some 60,000 construction jobs across Canada according to estimates prepared for the Canadian Coalition for Construction Steel, with disproportionately higher impacts likely for British Columbia because of how and where rebar and related products must be sourced. At this time, we urge you to ensure that steel products in transit to Canada prior to the safeguard measures coming into force be excluded from the quota. Further, we urge a regional remission of 100,000 tonnes of rebar be allowed for BC without being included within the quota. Importantly, spring is the busiest annual construction period in BC and begins in February, rather than April in most of the rest of Canada. With shipping lead-times of three to six months from overseas suppliers, BC’s construction industry needs surety of a sufficient, cost-effective rebar supply.

  • June 7, 2019 Randeep Sarai Member of Parliament, Surrey Centre Valour
    June 7, 2019 Randeep Sarai Member of Parliament, Surrey Centre Valour Building, Suite 860, House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario Sent by email: [email protected] Dear Mr. Sarai, RE: B-20 stress test Thank you for arranging a roundtable discussion with housing sector professionals at the Surrey City Centre Library on May 22. We appreciate the opportunity to connect and provide feedback on how federal policies impact BC REALTORS® and the housing market. The B-20 stress test has had a pronounced regional impact in BC, causing harm to the BC economy and making it harder for British Columbians to realize their dream of home ownership. Home sales have declined by 25 per cent across BC and by 33 per cent in Surrey in 2018. Research from the BCREA Economics department shows that the B-20 stress test resulted in an estimated 30 per cent of that decline, or 8,000 lost home sales. The B-20 policy creates vulnerabilities, resulting from an overreach in policy is likely to result in negative economic outcomes, including a decline in new home construction and rising unemployment. BCREA estimates that home price declines exceeding 10 per cent in one year would have a negative impact on housing supply. A decline in housing starts means that once housing demand recovers from a price shock, it is likely that supply will be inadequate, leading to future price accelerations. This concern has been corroborated by homebuilders across BC, including Randeep Sarai Page 2 June 7, 2019 several in your riding who shared their stories at your roundtable discussion in May.
