This Bill cannot be passed…

This Bill cannot be passed. As an Ontarian, I know the importance of the Greenbelt. Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass would destroy some of Ontario’s most productive farmland, harm federally protected at-risk species and degrade water sources for millions of Ontarians. Over the next 30 years, Highway 413 would add over 17 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

We are in the middle of a climate crisis. The damage this highway will cause is irreversible. It is time to invest in clean, green and public transportation, not another polluting highway.

Building houses on the Greenbelt is not the answer to Ontario's housing crisis.
