I am concerned that all…

I am concerned that all municipalities affecting Lake Simcoe directly or indirectly will not take water conservation seriously. Already there are plans to drain a swamp in Georgina. I live on this lake. I see the richness of natural beauty on this lake, many of my neighbours get there water directly from the lake. I am all for more employment but in balance with nature. We have an amazing resource here. Some of the underground aquifers have the purest water in the world in our region. Water is liquid gold. Many countries have none. We should be protecting ours and hoarding it. Development should allow for space between homes, conservation of water, maximum replenishment into the lakes. In the 47 years I have been on this lake I have seen the hard clay bottom change to 2ft of silt and weeds. Weeds are everywhere from runoff and foolish people dumping into storm sewers. I think there is a huge growth industry in water that this bill is not protecting. Water is the future as is eco tourism. Put people to work conserving and maintaining our natural heritage. I have seen the land where my Pioneer family cleared and it should be a crime what has been done. Please don't let that happen to the last piece of my family's cottage land. Our growth should be looking to the future. This development at all costs is the past. Please strike a reasonable balance.
