I do not support the changes…

I do not support the changes, namely as relates to the following:

a. Growth targets are far less stringent - they need to become more stringent.
b. It will become easier for municipalities to expand their settlement areas/urban boundaries - this should not happen.
c. Lessened emphasis on avoiding settlement area expansion into prime agricultural areas - we need to keep prime agricultural areas close to urban areas.
d. Conversion of employment land will become easier - again, we need to keep employment land areas close to urban areas.
e. Agricultural lot severances will become easier - same concern as above, we need to keep prime agricultural areas close to urban areas .
f. Protection of agricultural areas is lessened, and information related to agriculture is decentralized from the province to municipalities - we need to keep prime agricultural areas close to urban areas.
g. Removes the definition of ‘affordable housing’ - we need to keep this definition to protect vulnerable parts of our population
