"Maybe it is too soon, but thus far, the only successes the JPC can tout are working groups and that it presented Hamilton with one remarkable speaker (I was there and he was remarkable)."

The JPC does not have a single concrete accomplishment to its name. Thus far, it has made absolutely no improvement to the lives of Hamiltonians.

"Breaking down barriers between both the staff and developer groups"? This is vacuous BS management speak. How stupid do you think we are?

Making presentations to council, holding a "position" on what the city needs and "assisting the City in ensuring that the new zoning by-law will contain the flexibility needed to attract commercial and industrial developments."? Again, nothing to show, absolutely nothing.

Paying Bill Strickland to deliver a canned speech to self-satisfied do-nothings? Nice event. Too bad I already heard the same speech on TED Talks, virtually word for word. I came away feeling Strickland had very little to offer the city. I was sitting with the "VIPs" and I couldn't believe these people had actually convinced themselves that this was the beginning of a new age for Hamilton.

Pardon my pessimism, but I think the JPC is a complete fail.
