Dear Ms. Bentley: Thank you for writing to me to inform me of the City of Pickering's resolution rega . the Provincial Central Pickering Development Plan. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the lead ministry for the province in land use planning matters in many of the issues you have raised. I am informed that you have been in contact with the Honourable John Gerretsen, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and that he responded to you on November 23,2005. I trust the minister's response was helpful. I have noted your request for the Provincial Development Facilitator's involvement in tillS matter. I understand that, on October 5,2005, a dialogue began between His Worship David Ryan, Mayor of Pickering, Pickering City Council, municipal staff, representatives from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and land owners involved in the land exchange. I agree with Minister Gerretsen's suggestion that is the most appropriate vehicle for addressing the issues identified by the city. As you know, the Places to Grow Act was passed in June 2005. Under the Act, I recently released a Proposed Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe for public comment. The Proposed Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe aims to identify where and how the region should grow and what features should be protected over the next 25 years. I look forward to receiving the City of Pickering's comments on the plan. .. ./2 C ~ðL 13 ) 024 -2- Thank you again for bringing your concerns to my attention.
