Comment
I object to Ontario’s Housing Supply Action Plan 3.0 and the government’s commitment to support the construction of 1.5 million new housing units over the next ten years, because of the devastation it will cause to Ontario wetlands. We need wetlands to preserve our water supply, to regulate flooding, to filter the effects of pollution, to combat climate change and to protect species at risk.
There are other, more environmentally friendly solutions to the housing crisis - more urban infill, developments that are less reliant on cars, higher density dwellings, a relaxing of municipal bylaws that allow for basement and main floor apartments, and more.
Please protect what little natural environment there is remaining in the GTA.
Thank you.
