Farms in Ontario are essential. Housing in Ontario essential. Allowing farmers the (voluntary) option of severing 1-3 building lots off existing farms would have little effect on any farm. The creation of 1-3 building lots on farms would contrarily have immediate imact to housing. I am a young working professional in southern Ontario. I have no reasonable expectation of owning a house here. I occupy a rental apartment. My parents own a farm and if allowed, would sever a lot for my use. This would be life changing. It would also result in the resulting surrendering of an apartment for another person. Southern Ontario is rapidly becoming non-viable for average working people. The goverment needs to allow severances on farms.
