Dear Sir/Madam

I am concerned that any encroachment on or reduction of agricultural land is extremely shortsighted given future needs for food security that will override any other concerns as large agricultural areas to the south of us become barren due to drought or water scarcity.

Places like Ontario due to our proximity to fresh water and availability of arable land will become even more important agricultural areas in the future.

Furthermore, it is unconscionable to be using precious agricultural land for low density sprawl just because the developers favoured by the premier specialize in low density housing. We have plenty of land and opportunity for densification inside the existing built areas and brownfield areas of the Toronto Region where the introduction of medium density multiplexes of up to 4 stories in established neighbourhoods could meet the demands of millions in very comfortable not too congested environments that have many urban amenities, transit, walkability for health, churches and other cultural facilities in close proximity that will help support a healthy, happy and productive quality of life.

We all very well know how unhealthy the suburban lifestyle that is proposed here is for our bodies, minds and the environment and its impact on climate change.

I hope you will consider my comments and others seriously, but I suspect secret deals have already been made with the rich corporate elites that effectively run this province.
