I am commenting because I am horrified by the seeming goal of wiping out all protections for any agricultural land or green space in this Province. To the farmers and rural residents in my county it also feels like the Ontario Government doe not understand that the green spaces showing on our map are already economic power houses for this province not empty space to be put to "better Use."

Consequently I support the submissions of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, both the Review of proposed policies for a new provincial planning policy instrument
