People do need housing but why are we building on land that has been protected.It was protected for a reason.What a coincidence that developers purchased protected land and now suddenly the provincial government decides you can build houses there. It seems like the government and developers had it all planned out between themselves beforehand and too bad for anyone else. Why are we paving over farmland,wetlands and forest. Those things we will never get back once they are gone. The environment doesn't seem to matter.
