This bill should not go through as we should not be prioritizing the most inefficient form of transportation over our small amount of precious landscape. The Environmental Defence estimates that 400 acres of our precious greenbelt may be destroyed with the construction of the 413. Before we settled in North America it was home to the indigenous peoples and many different animals roaming the vast natural lands that we are on today. Since we arrived in North America we have destroyed the indigenous people's and countless species homes and replaced it was large scale agriculture and unsustainable suburbs. We cannot undo the past, but we can control the future. The greenbelt is all we have left of a natural Ontario and we should be doing everything we can to protect it. For this reason, I am strongly opposed to Bill 212 (ERO #019-9265).
