The proposed changes increase the power of the Minister of Housing, override local planning, and make it easier to sub-divide and pave over farms to create low density sub-divisions.
Given that we are already paving over five family farms each week in this province according to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the changes proposed in Bill 97 are breathtakingly shortsighted and just plain dumb. What is wrong with our government?
We ask that our government defend local planning, rural communities and farming. Please defend our farmland-it is crucial to our future.
There are many buildings, deserted lots, etc. in our provinces that are already in developed areas left unattended for whatever reason. If the government chose to develop those areas and leave undeveloped farm land alone for our basic needs-to have food to eat; leave natural areas alone-for our basic needs-to have clean water and a natural area to visit and enjoy; we would all benefit. Please care for our undeveloped natural areas, our watersheds, our farms. Leave them for our basic needs. Thank you.
