I do not support policies…

I do not support policies that will increase residential lot creation in prime agricultural areas or in rural areas that are actively farmed.
Putting more homes in agricultural areas would put pressure on farm ecology because of new wells and septic systems.
It will never be farmland again once there's a house on it.
If this increase in houses built on prime agricultural land is approved, we will lose 25% of our farmland.

We, as a country, need to be able to continue to grow our own food for our people. We can still do that and we need to continue, since Canadian farmers in conjunction with CFIA produces the highest standards of food production worldwide.

A far better solution is to put housing on marginal land near cities, closer to the services that can handle an increase in population.
