Building more highways and more lanes will not ease traffic problems.
It has been proven that doing so will create induced demand.

If the Ontario government goes through with removing bike lanes to increase car lanes, building highway 413, adding more lanes or tunnels to existing highways, yes, it'll ease congestion for all of a few months, before induced demand gobbles up all of the "bandwidth" the lanes created. And you'll be right back in the current position.

I am opposed to any plans to remove bike lanes or plans to restrict municipalities from building bike lanes. Bike lanes are the easiest form of public transit infrastructure to create and maintain. Private cars create congestion; not bikes.

If the Ontario government wants to ease traffic problems, reducing the number of private cars on the roads is the key. By increasing funding and reliability to all other modes of public transit, from bike lanes, buses and bus lanes, streetcars/ tramlines, subways and even high speed rail, all of these will encourage citizens to use these to get around for their daily needs and commutes instead of using private vehicles.

Encouraging public transit and bikes, reduces traffic congestion.

The implementation of bike lanes and reducing car lanes in major cities from New York to Paris have been successful in reducing congestion and traffic. Follow Paris' lead.

Once and for all, build high speed rail from the Windsor to Ottawa corridor, work with Quebec to make the line reach Quebec City, work with Michigan to connect it to the USA.
