On behalf of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) and our 37,000 farm family members and supporters, I would like to express our appreciation for the opportunity to provide comments
with respect to the proposed regulation under the Development Charges Act, 1997. The OFA supports measures taken to ensure municipalities are conducting due diligence when developing local development charge by-laws. The proposed requirement to conduct asset management plans will help municipalities make informed decisions when determining the role development charges will play in achieving their future capital needs.
