I strongly object to your government's proposal to remove the current environmental safeguards for the Greenbelt through Bill 66. The Greenbelt is a precious commodity, which is irreplaceable. Already an enormous amount of rich, fertile farmland has been destroyed by non-stop construction.

I do not approve of development of farmland in the Greenbelt. Farmland should stay farmland and we do need that Greenspace around our urban areas for many reasons, including water filtration and air quality.

A proposed change that allows development to essential farmland just isn’t sustainable. Cities need farmers. The green belt is some of the most productive soil in the country. Especially in a time where our relations are fraught with both China and USA, two of our largest produce suppliers.

This bill requires more consultation of the general public and environmental groups. It will have impact now and on future generations . Respect for our limited land and water should not be linked to a narrow open for business agenda.
