New and Unfinished Business - General Government

6.5.1

Request the Redistribution of the Provincial Land Transfer Tax and GST to Municipalities for Sustainable Infrastructure Funding

Councillor Yamada introduced a motion requesting the Provincial and Federal levels of government consider the redistribution of a portion of the Provincial Land Transfer Tax and GST to Municipalities for sustainable infrastructure funding.

• Recommendation:

  Moved by Councillor Yamada

  Whereas municipalities face growing infrastructure needs, including roads, bridges, public transit, water systems, and other critical services, which are essential to community well-being and economic development; and,

  Whereas the current sources of municipal revenue, including property taxes and user fees, are insufficient to meet these increasing demands for infrastructure investment; and,

  Whereas the Province of Ontario currently collects the Land Transfer Tax (LTT) on property transactions in municipalities across the province, generating significant revenue that is not directly shared with municipalities; and,

  Whereas the Federal Government collects the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on property transactions, a portion of which could be directed to municipalities to address local infrastructure needs; and,

  Whereas redistributing a portion of the LTT and GST to municipalities would provide a predictable and sustainable source of funding for local infrastructure projects without creating a new tax burden on residents or homebuyers; and,

  Whereas a redistribution of a portion of the existing LTT and GST would allow municipalities to better plan and invest in long-term infrastructure initiatives, supporting local economic growth and improving the quality of life for residents.

  Now therefore, be it resolved:

  1. That the Council of the Town of Whitby formally requests the Provincial Government to consider redistributing a portion of the Land Transfer Tax collected on property transactions to municipalities; and,
  2. That the Council of the Town of Whitby calls on the Federal Government to allocate a percentage of the Goods and Services Tax collected on property sales to municipalities; and,
  3. That this redistribution of the Land Transfer Tax and Goods and Services Tax should be structured to provide predictable and sustainable funding to municipalities, allowing for better long-term planning and investment in infrastructure projects that benefit local communities, thus ensuring that local governments receive a fair share of the revenue to address critical infrastructure needs; and,
  4. That copies of this resolution be forwarded to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Doug Ford, the Ontario Minister of Finance, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Durham Region MPs and Durham Region MPPs; and,
  5. That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the local municipalities in Durham Region, the Region of Durham, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) for their endorsement and advocacy.

  Carried later in the meeting. (See following motion)

  
  

• Recommendation:

  Moved by Councillor Mulcahy

  The main motion be amended by including the following as Item 4 and that the remaining items be renumbered accordingly:
  
  4. That the Province of Ontario consider AMO’s advocacy focused on the Housing Affordability Task Force recommendations, advocating for long-term and predictable infrastructure funding, and supporting on-going discussions around the importance of the development charge regime in funding housing-enabling infrastructure in many communities.

  Carried

  The main motion, as amended, was then carried as follows:

  
  

• Recommendation:

  Moved by Councillor Yamada
  1. That the Council of the Town of Whitby formally requests the Provincial Government to consider redistributing a portion of the Land Transfer Tax collected on property transactions to municipalities; and,
  2. That the Council of the Town of Whitby calls on the Federal Government to allocate a percentage of the Goods and Services Tax collected on property sales to municipalities; and,
  3. That this redistribution of the Land Transfer Tax and Goods and Services Tax should be structured to provide predictable and sustainable funding to municipalities, allowing for better long-term planning and investment in infrastructure projects that benefit local communities, thus ensuring that local governments receive a fair share of the revenue to address critical infrastructure needs; and,

  5. That copies of this resolution be forwarded to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Doug Ford, the Ontario Minister of Finance, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Durham Region MPs and Durham Region MPPs; and,
  6. That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the local municipalities in Durham Region, the Region of Durham, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) for their endorsement and advocacy.
  Carried

6.5.2

Reducing or Eliminating Tolls on Highway 407 East

Councillor Lee introduced a motion regarding reducing or eliminating tolls on Highway 407 East.

• Recommendation:

  Moved by Councillor Lee

  Whereas at a media appearance on October 25, 2024 Premier Ford fielded a question regarding the possibility of reducing or eliminating tolls on Highway 407 as an alternative to constructing a tunnel under Highway 401; and, 

  Whereas in response to the question, Premier Ford indicated that he has requested that the Minister of Transportation review reducing or eliminating tolls on the provincially-owned portion of the highway, being Highway 407 East; and, 

  Whereas Premier Ford further indicated that the Province would do a feasibility study regarding reducing or eliminating tolls on Highway 407 East and that any toll adjustments could be made quickly; and, 

  Whereas the Get It Done Act, 2024 prohibits Ontario from introducing tolls on provincial highways; and,

  Whereas Highway 407 East is the only tolled provincially owned highway in Ontario, resulting in unfair economic impacts to Durham Region residents and businesses; and,

  Whereas the Council of the Town of Whitby has previously advocated for the removal of tolls on Highway 407 East through Resolution # 60-24 adopted at the March 18, 2024 Regular Council Meeting in order to boost economic development, improve travel times, and alleviate traffic impacts in Durham Region.

  Now therefore be it resolved:

  1. That the Council of the Town of Whitby requests that the Province of Ontario reduce or eliminate tolls on Highway 407 East from Brock Road in Pickering to Highway 35/115; and,
  2. That the Mayor be requested on behalf of Council, to author a letter including this motion to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Transportation, all Durham Region MPPs, all Durham municipalities, the City of Kawartha Lakes, the Township of Cavan Monaghan, the City of Peterborough, the Ontario Trucking Association, and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.
