It is impossible to know from this posting what regulations and detailed planning policies will be proposed by the Government. The proposals that are outlined in the posting are deeply concerning and raise the overarching questiion - Why is it necessary to eliminate the exisiting PPS and Places to Grow Act, documents that already encompass all of the proposed planning guidance and direction that is needed? Moreover, the existing PPS and Places to Grow Act provide the essential basis for planning and protection of Agricultural and other resources. The Proposals to allow expanded development on farmland is sheer madness and is unsustainable. We are already losing some of the best farmland in Ontario at the incredible rate of 319 acres PER DAY! The proposed policies will only serve to unnecessarily increase this loss.
I urge the Government to abandon the damaging proposals outlined in this ERO posting. They are not needed.
