I do not agree with Bill 97 and Proposed Provincial Planning Statement. The fragmenting of farmland is not acceptable. I do not support policies that will increase residential lot creation in prime agricultural areas or in rural areas that are actively farmed.
These policy changes put the sustainability of that land and the food system it provides at great risk. What are we going to eat?
Directing growth to settlement areas, urban and rural, seems to be best for agriculture and municipalities. Responsible land-use planning is critical. What happened to, "Good things grow in Ontario."???
