• A Toronto East airport would contribute negligibly to global greenhouse gas emissions.
• Increases in cropland in Southern Ontario far overshadow the size of the Pickering Lands.
• If approved, the Toronto East airport should not be planned and developed as a regional reliever airport, but as originally intended by the federal government as Toronto’s second major commercial airport, complementing and reinforcing Toronto Pearson.
• A Toronto East Aerotropolis has the potential to substantially improve the competitiveness of the entire region’s economy, including its agricultural and food processing sectors.
• A successful Toronto East Aerotropolis can generate hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of economic activity if developed properly.
