<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">The Region is proceeding with a bold series of legal measures to address this. They are keeping the public informed -- a press release went out yesterday. I don't think a GREN statement/action
is warranted at this moment. If egg is to land on the face of the OMB and the consortium of some 27 land owners, speculators and developers that are involved in this challenge to the ROP, it will splatter much more effectively if delivered by the force of
a legal cannon than if delivered through GREN's pea-shopoter. Let's sit tight for now and keep abreast of developments.

<div>In formulating GREN's response, it would be beneficial to make reference to the Environmental Commissioner's statement regarding the attempt David Wellhauser and I made to secure a Waterloo Moraine Protection Act. The Commissioner states the following:

<div style="margin-top:0.4em; margin-bottom:0.5em; line-height:19.046875px; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:13px">
Not only does the Growth Plan fail to require population allocations be adjusted for communities with watersheds close to or already at carrying capacity, it favours large-scale infrastructure projects aimed at overcoming the natural limits to growth. Waterloo
is proposing to address any future water shortages by constructing a pipe to Lake Erie. Such infrastructure projects override ecological carrying capacities and are exempt from natural heritage protections in the PPS and Greenbelt Plan, despite their significant
environmental effects. Provincial policies, such as the Growth Plan, favour development over sustainable planning processes.</div>
<div style="margin-top:0.4em; margin-bottom:0.5em; line-height:19.046875px; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:13px">
A comprehensive systems-based plan for natural heritage protection and land use planning is needed. The moraines extend across several cities and regions, each with their own official plans and zoning. The resulting piecemeal approach to planning and protection
can leave environmentally significant areas vulnerable or under-protected, thereby compromising the entire landscape.</div>
