Question for candidate debate:
One of the most contentious issues in South Etobicoke is the ravaging advance of development and the destruction of neighbourhoods as we know them. In February 2012, Mr. Milcyzn and Mr. Holyday voted on several motions for Toronto and its challenges at the OMB. Can you please state your position on this issue and what you would do to try and change the status of the OMB as an MPP?
