Re: ERO # 019-3136 - Growing the Greenbelt

Dear Minister Clark;

I am glad you are expanding the Greenbelt. The proposal is a good start.

Any Greenbelt expansion needs to include ecologically sensitive areas like all our wetlands, moraines, and urban river valleys and should be extended far enough north to protect the at-risk Lake Simcoe basin.

A good first step would be passing Mike Schreiner’s Paris Galt Moraine Conservation Act Private Member’s Bill.

Any proposals to allow the development of the"proposed additions" to the Greenbelt and all lands and river valleys currently protected within the limits of Greenbelt must not be entertained. Such development proposals must not be approved!

If you really cared about Ontario’s greenspaces, you would cancel Highway 413 now. You must stop forcing through environmentally destructive legislation like Schedule 3 of Bill 257. 

Show that you care about Ontario's green by discontinuing the use destructive MZOs to override important legislation and provincial policy.

Permanently cancel Highway 613 forever!

You promised the electorate you wouldn't authorize development of the Greenbelt. Stop development of the entire Greenbelt now!

Expand the Greenbelt limits.

Thank you for your consideration and action to protect the Greenbelt and future expanded land and river valleys.
