Regarding ERO#019-6813 - I live in a rural area on a 20 acre property, zoned rural, and therefore precluded from subdividing. Although such zoning limits our potential to make money from our land, my husband and I are content with the situation for the greater good of the area - including the health of the adjacent pond which is a classed as a provincially significant wetland. I see nothing in the proposed legislation which would protect that wetland, nor which would protect our quality of life. All I see is the goal of opening land for development i.e. profit-taking from an irreplaceable resource for the short-term profit of a few. In my opinion, destruction of productive farmland is a short-sighted and wrong-headed objective in an age when our food supply chain is threatened by political and climate change realities.
