He also said the new system would have to drive development back into the older area s0 they do not die from need of improvements. He cited the Oshawa downtown and the Harwood Ave mail in Ajax as areas that have suffereti from the fact that development money is placed to cheaper lands on the outside of the main core of centres. The chairman further stated that at the present time there is nothing about providing services to people, it's ail about power and politics.
