The recent decision on whether to impose a one-year freeze on data centre development in Hamilton was extremely challenging. I appreciate the significant public interest this issue generated and recognize that residents hold differing views.

This file has been a journey of discovery for me. As I read more and met with residents and experts, I learned that not all data centres are alike and that Hamilton has been home to many data centres for years, serving public, institutional, and private needs. I also came to share many of the concerns raised regarding large-scale, hyperscale data centres.

At the same time, I learned that Canada's regulatory framework for data centres is still emerging and requires careful, scientifically informed deliberation and public review. This differs significantly from the United States, where regulation remains comparatively limited.
