Please consider the environment and sensitive areas - Greenbelt (Oak Ridges Moraine) as a priority. Preserving our environment is more important in the long term than immediate business improvement and employment considerations. There is far too much development in York Region at this time!

I would like to question the validity of the statement saying several of these agricultural acts are "out of date" are going to be removed as opposed to updated? I fear these changes and cuts will remove protection from the extremely important Canadian environment. Read more
