Comment
I strongly object to any proposed changes to existing legislation which would allow the weakening of regulations that protect Ontario's Green Belt, prime agricultural land, wetland habitats and the authority of regional Conservation authorities.
There is ample evidence that compromising the integrity of our natural ecosystems will eventually cause their collapse, jeopardizing the health and welfare of all of the province's, and indeed the entire country's population.
Short term planning that would address the current housing shortages and sacrifice our farmland and natural areas will only cause eventual pressures on air and water quality, and food security for the residents of these overdeveloped areas.
Once developed for housing or commercial use, these lands are no longer usable or open to rehabilitation in the future.
I would urge you to reassess the long-term impacts of weakening these existing regulatory controls, and consider the greater good for future generations.
