I would like to register my significant concern and alarm at the proposal to expand urban sprawl into precious and endangered wetland ecosystems that are key to supporting birds, reptiles, fish, insects and clean water. Further sprawl is short-sighted and mistaken given the challenges facing Canada from the climate crisis. Moreover, urban sprawl is expensive given the public funds required to maintain roads and services to a minimally dense population base. As a concerned citizen, I strongly urge the government of Ontario to rethink this proposal. There are better ways to increase housing supply - through urban densification and regulation of large corporate investors.
