I am extremely concerned that this Act would let municipalities bypass major water-protection acts (the Clean Water Act, Great Lakes Protection Act, and Lake Simcoe Proctection Plan Act) and recent solid-waste-management law (2016’s Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act)
And the changes that involve the province’s planning laws — the Metrolinx Act, the Places to Grow Act, and the Greenbelt Act, which could also be set aside for such projects, is alarming to me!
I love the Greenbelt! Everyone I know loves and appreciates the Greenbelt!
It protects almost 2 million acres of farms, water sources and natural areas that we could never get back if you open it up to rampant land soeculation be developers. This would also mean loss of farmland and disruption to farming communities.
