I encourage the government…

I encourage the government to listen to the concerns of the farming associations,such as the OFA. Expanding into prime farming land is taking a near-sighted view and disregarding the long term risk to our food security, biodiversity and recreational opportunities. Single home lots are not going to provide affordable housing and the increased support infrastructure will simply put more strain on the regional municipal tax bases.
Provincial efforts should focus on supporting well planned densification and the supporting infrastructure and transit within existing municipal foot prints.
