This absolutely should not…

This absolutely should not be allowed to pass, as it effectively makes the PPS and Planning Act useless. Why have such documents if they are not going to be followed? Why bother having official plans if you are going to create a situation in which a development free-for-all can occur across the province.

Please think of the future. We need farmland in order to feed ourselves. We cannot develop what we want when we want, that's why these plans and policies were enacted in the first place.

Please do not "blow up" the planning process in Ontario.

Please protect and preserve Ontario's farmland. Every class of farmland is a valuable asset, and is a finite, non-renewable resource. Please keep this is mind while debating this omnibus legislation.
