The Duffins Rouge…

The Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve is a highly valuable piece of land. It helps preserve the Carolinian ecosystem (one of Ontario's rarest ecozones), acts as a carbon sink, and also contains highly-productive farmland. Its importance as a protected zone cannot be understated, especially as the province's population continues to grow.

While I understand the need to build more housing, I do not see any reason for doing so on the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve. Ontario can (and should) make use of land within its existing urban areas, as concluded by the Housing Affordability Task Force. This would allow the province to preserve the this land for enjoyment by current and future generations.
